URL Encoder/Decoder

Convert your URLs and URI components to and from encoded format.

Use URI Component encoding when encoding: query parameters, path segments, or any part of a URL that might contain special characters.

About URL Encoding

URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, is a method to convert characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. This encoding is essential for maintaining URL integrity and ensuring proper data transmission.

When to Use Each Mode:

  • URI Component: For encoding individual parts of a URL (query parameters, path segments)
  • Full URI: For encoding complete URLs while preserving URL structure
  • Special characters like spaces become "%20" or "+"
  • Unicode characters are encoded as UTF-8 sequences
  • Reserved characters like "/", "?", "=" are handled differently in each mode
