🔗 URL Encoder / Decoder

Percent-encode and decode URLs, query strings, or any text.

About URL Encoder / Decoder

URLs can only contain a limited set of characters — spaces, special symbols, and non-ASCII characters must be percent-encoded (like %20 for a space, %26 for &) before they're valid in a web address. This tool encodes and decodes URLs and query strings instantly in both directions, handling the transformation correctly every time.

Useful when building API requests manually, debugging broken links, crafting query parameters that include special characters, or decoding an encoded URL to understand what it actually points to. Paste a messy percent-encoded string and decode it to readable text, or encode plain text for safe use in a URL parameter.
