What is URL Encoder & Decoder?

The URL Encoder converts special characters such as spaces, &, ?, = and non-English letters into percent-encoded form (%20, %26…) so they can be safely placed in URLs and query strings, and decodes encoded URLs back into readable text. Component mode encodes everything that is not safe inside a single parameter (like encodeURIComponent); Full URL mode keeps the URL’s structure characters such as :, / and ? intact (like encodeURI).

How to use URL Encoder & Decoder

  1. 1

    Choose Encode or Decode

    Select the direction you need.

  2. 2

    Pick Component or Full URL

    Use Component for a single query value and Full URL for a whole address.

  3. 3

    Copy the result

    The output updates as you type — copy it into your link or code.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Component and Full URL?

Component encodes reserved characters like / ? & = so a value can sit inside a query string. Full URL leaves them alone so the address still works.

Why is a space encoded as %20 and not +?

%20 is the standard percent-encoding for URLs. The + form is only used in HTML form submissions (application/x-www-form-urlencoded).

Why does decoding show an error?

The text contains a % sign that is not followed by two hex digits, which is not valid percent-encoding.
