URL Encoder / Decoder

Encode special characters in a URL or decode an encoded URL string.

Text to Encode

How it works

Paste any URL or text string and click Encode to percent-encode special characters (spaces become %20, & becomes %26, etc.). Click Decode to reverse the process. Essential for building and debugging URLs and query strings.

Why use this tool?

Developers use URL encoding when building API requests, handling form submissions, and constructing redirect URLs. Prevents special characters from breaking URL parsing in browsers and servers.
