URL Encoder & Decoder
Convert characters into URL-safe encoding, or decode encoded URL components.
How to use this tool
Paste text and press Encode to use percent-encoding for a URL component, such as a query parameter value. Paste an encoded component and press Decode to reverse it. This is not a full-URL normalizer; do not paste an entire URL if you only want to encode one parameter.

Practical example: Encoding query-string values
A value such as hello world contains a space. Encoding the component produces hello%20world, suitable for inclusion as a URL parameter value.
What to check before using the result
Encoding a URL component is not the same as encoding an entire URL. Encoded text is not encrypted or secret.
Frequently asked question
Does URL encoding hide private data?
