About this tool
Encode and decode text for safe use in URLs. Encoding turns special characters (spaces, accents, &, ?) into percent-encoded sequences, and decoding does the reverse.
Useful for building query strings, debugging links and handling API parameters. Processing is local, in the browser.
How to use
- Choose between encode or decode.
- Paste the text or URL into the text area.
- Copy the result.

Encoding turns special characters into %XX; decoding reverts to the original text.

No, everything is processed locally.
