About URL Encoder/Decoder
URL Encoder/Decoder converts text to and from URL-safe format. URLs can only contain certain characters, so special characters must be encoded using percent-encoding (e.g., space becomes %20). This tool handles encoding for safe URL transmission and decoding to restore original text, essential for web development and API work.
The encoder converts special characters, spaces, and non-ASCII characters into percent-encoded format (%XX) that can be safely included in URLs. The decoder reverses this process, restoring encoded URLs to human-readable text. This is crucial for query parameters, form data, and any text that needs to be transmitted in URLs without breaking the URL structure.
Common Use Cases
Web developers encode query parameters for API requests and form submissions. SEO specialists decode URLs to understand their structure. Developers debug URL-related issues by examining encoded values. Anyone sharing URLs with special characters needs encoding to ensure links work correctly. The tool helps construct proper URLs for web scraping, testing, and integration work.
