useforfreeWhat this does
This tool percent-encodes text so it can be used safely in a web address, and decodes encoded addresses back into readable text. Encode a single value, like a search term or redirect link, or a whole URL while keeping its slashes and question mark. Unicode text such as accents, Hebrew and emoji is encoded as UTF-8. Any full URL is also broken down into its scheme, host, path, query parameters and fragment.
How to use it
- Choose Encode or Decode, and what you are encoding.
- Paste the text or URL.
- Copy the result, and check the URL parts table below.
FAQ
When should I encode a whole URL vs a value?
Encode a value, like a search term or a link passed inside another link, so its &, = and / don't break the URL. Encode a whole URL only to fix spaces or non-English characters while keeping its structure.
Why does + turn into a space?
HTML forms send spaces as +. Tick "+ means space" when decoding form data or query strings that come from a form.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. Encoding and decoding happen in your browser.
