URL Encoder & Decoder
Encode or decode URL text.
UNDERSTANDING THE TOOL
What url encoder & decoder does
URL encoding represents characters that have special meanings in URLs in an escaped form. It is particularly useful when placing user-provided text inside a query parameter or other URL component.
When it is useful
Encode or decode text for use in URL components. The page is designed for quick checks, preparation, and routine tasks where a focused utility is more convenient than doing the same steps manually.
Check the context. A calculator or converter can produce a mathematically correct result from the values supplied, but it cannot know whether those values, units, dates, or assumptions are appropriate for your particular situation.
PRACTICAL NOTES
Things to check
- encodeURIComponent is intended for URL components such as query parameter values.
- A complete URL may contain syntax that should not be encoded as a single component.
- Decoding text that was not URL-encoded can produce errors or unexpected characters.
