FAQ
How to URL encode special characters?
Paste the string, choose Encode, and pick component mode for query values or full-URI mode for entire URLs—then copy the percent-encoded result.
What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?
Component encoding escapes nearly every reserved character—ideal for query values. Full-URI encoding leaves structural characters like : and / intact.
How to decode percent-encoded URLs?
Switch to Decode and paste %XX sequences. The tool returns readable text for paths, queries, or full URIs.
When should I percent-encode query parameters?
Encode values that contain spaces, ampersands, unicode, or other reserved characters so servers parse the query string correctly.
