URL Encoder & Decoder

What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding (percent-encoding) converts characters into a format safe for use in URLs. Reserved and special characters—like spaces, &, =, and ?—are replaced with % followed by their two-digit hexadecimal value. This prevents URLs from breaking when they contain special characters.

How it works

• Encode: Converts text to URL-safe format using percent-encoding (e.g., space → %20, & → %26).
• Decode: Converts percent-encoded strings back to the original text.
• Use case: Essential for building query strings, passing parameters in APIs, and creating valid URLs.
