How to Use the URL Encoder / Decoder
Select your desired action from the dropdown menu: either Encode (make a URL safe) or Decode (make a URL readable).
Paste your string or URL into the text area. If encoding, choose whether to encode the full URL or just a specific component.
Click "Process URL". The result will be generated instantly and can be copied to your clipboard with one click.
Features & Benefits
100% Privacy Preserved: All encoding and decoding operations happen locally inside your web browser. Your data is never sent to a server.
RFC 3986 Compliant: Uses standard JavaScript URI functions to ensure your encoded strings are universally accepted by all modern web servers.
Component vs. Full URL: Choose between strict component encoding (for query parameters) or full URL encoding (preserves slashes and question marks).
Instant Execution: No waiting for network requests or queues. The tool provides real-time results the moment you click the button.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding (also known as Percent-encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits (e.g., a space becomes %20).
What is the difference between "Component" and "Full URL" mode?
Component mode uses encodeURIComponent(), which encodes characters like ?, =, &, and /. This is meant for encoding a single query parameter value. Full URL mode uses encodeURI(), which leaves those special structural characters alone so the link remains functional.
Why did my decoding fail?
If you receive an error while decoding, your input likely contains a malformed percent-encoded sequence (such as a `%` that isn't followed by two valid hex digits).
