Safely encode special characters for URLs or decode %20-style strings back to readable text.
What is the URL Encoder / Decoder?
URLs can only contain certain characters, so spaces and symbols must be percent-encoded (a space becomes %20). This tool encodes text for URLs and decodes encoded URLs back to normal text.
How to use the URL Encoder / Decoder
- Paste your text or URL.
- Click Encode or Decode.
- Copy the result.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?
Encoding a full URL keeps characters like / ? & intact. Component encoding encodes them too, which is right for query values.
Why do URLs have %20?
%20 is the encoded form of a space character.
This url encoder / decoder is 100% free, needs no signup and runs in your browser, so your data stays private.
