URL Encoder & Decoder
Convert special characters to percent-encoded URL safe format.
About This Tool
URLs cannot contain spaces or certain special characters directly — they need to be percent-encoded first (a space becomes %20, for example). This tool encodes text or query parameters into a URL-safe format, or decodes an already-encoded URL back into readable text.
How to Use URL Encoder & Decoder
- Paste text or a URL parameter and click "Encode URL", or paste an encoded string and click "Decode URL".
- Copy the resulting value.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to URL-encode text?
Any time you're building a URL with a query parameter that contains spaces, symbols, or non-English characters, encoding keeps the URL valid.
