URL Encoder Decoder

What is URL Encoder & Decoder?

This tool converts special characters in web links into a safe, percent-encoded format to comply with standard URI specs, or decodes them back for easy debugging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why do web URLs need to be encoded?

URLs can only contain specific safe characters. Query parameters that include symbols, non-ASCII characters, or spaces must be encoded to prevent broken links and routing errors.

Q2: What happens when I decode a URL?

The tool takes characters like %20 or %2F and converts them back to plain spaces and slashes, allowing you to easily read complex tracking or API endpoints.
