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

  1. Choose between encode or decode.
  2. Paste the text or URL into the text area.
  3. Copy the result.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between encode and decode?

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

When do I need to URL-encode?

When including spaces, accents or symbols in query parameters, for example.

Does the data leave the browser?

No, everything is processed locally.
