What is URL Encoder & Decoder?
This URL Encoder & Decoder converts unsafe characters into percent-encoded form so URLs and query parameters work correctly in browsers, servers, analytics tools, and APIs. It also decodes encoded URLs back into readable text, which is useful for debugging query strings, UTM parameters, redirects, form submissions, and API requests. Encoding prevents issues with spaces, symbols, emojis, and non-English characters.

Paste a URL, query string, or plain text into the input
2
The tool auto-detects encode vs decode
