Easily Encode and Decode Your URLs
Our free online URL Encoder and Decoder is an essential tool for web developers and SEOs. It allows you to convert strings into a URL-safe format (percent-encoding) and decode them back to their original state. This is crucial for handling URLs that contain special characters, spaces, or non-alphanumeric symbols, ensuring they are interpreted correctly by web browsers and servers.
How to Use the Tool
- Enter Your Text: Paste the URL or string you want to process into the text area.
- Click Encode or Decode: Choose the action you want to perform.
- Get Your Result: The tool will instantly provide the converted text, ready for you to copy and use.
Why is URL Encoding Important?
URLs can only contain a specific set of characters. When you need to include a character that is not in this set (like a space, a question mark, or an ampersand) within a URL parameter, it must be encoded. Encoding replaces these special characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits, ensuring the URL remains valid and functional.
Key Features
- Two-Way Conversion: Both encode strings to a URL-safe format and decode them back to human-readable text.
- Fast and Accurate: Get instant, reliable results based on standard percent-encoding.
- Simple Interface: A clean and straightforward tool for a common development task.
