URL Encode/Decode

What is it?

The URL Encoder and Decoder is a utility that safely encodes reserved characters in a string into percent-encoded format (like %20 for a space), or decodes them back to readable text.

When should you use it?

Use this tool when constructing complex HTTP GET request URLs, debugging query parameters, or formatting strings to be passed safely through a web form. It is essential when your data contains characters like &, =, or ? which have special meanings in URLs.

How does it work?

It leverages the browser’s native encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent JavaScript functions. All string manipulation happens instantly in your computer’s memory.

Example Input (Encode)

https://example.com/search?q=hello world & test

Example Output (Encode)

https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dhello%20world%20%26%20test

How to Use This Tool

1. Paste your URL or text string into the input panel.
2. Toggle between Encode and Decode modes to instantly transform the string.
3. Copy the safely encoded or decoded URI for use in your applications.

Why use this offline tool?

URLs often contain sensitive query parameters, session tokens, or internal routing structures. This tool ensures your endpoints and parameters are processed locally and are never stored in server logs.
