About URL Encoder / Decoder

The URL Encoder / Decoder is a simple tool for converting text to a URL-safe format (percent-encoding) and back.

Why Encode URLs?

URLs can only send over the Internet using the US-ASCII character set. Since URLs often contain characters outside the ASCII set, the URL has to be converted into a valid ASCII format. URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.

Key Features

  • Encode: Converts characters like spaces into %20, making the string safe for use in a URL query parameter.
  • Decode: Reverts encoded strings back to their original readable format.
  • Safe Processing: Handles UTF-8 characters correctly.

Common Use Cases

  • Debugging: Reading complex query parameters from a URL.
  • Development: Preparing data to be sent via GET requests in an API.
