URL Encoder/Decoder
Encode special characters in URLs or decode encoded URLs. Handy for debugging web requests.
URL and URI Encoding Explained
URL encoding (or Percent-encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Characters that are not allowed in a URL must be encoded.
For example, a space cannot be part of a URL, so it is encoded as `%20`. This tool allows you to easily encode a standard string into a valid URL format, or decode a messy URL back into readable text.
Key Features
