About URL Encoder / Decoder
URL Encoder / Decoder converts special characters in web addresses into percent codes such as %20, and turns them back into readable text.
Tips for best results
- Encode a value before putting it inside a query string.
- A space becomes %20 when encoding. A plus sign is read as a space when decoding.
- If decoding fails, the text has a broken % sequence.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the two encode styles?
Value mode encodes everything special, including / ? & and =. Full URL mode leaves those characters so the address still works.
Does it support non-English text?
Yes. Characters are encoded as UTF-8.
Is my text uploaded?
No. This tool runs inside your browser, so your data is processed on your own phone or computer and is not sent to our servers.
