URL Encoder/Decoder
Encode and decode URL component text without sending data to a server.
About the URL Encoder/Decoder
URL encoding replaces characters that have special meaning in a URL component with percent-encoded values. Decoding converts those values back to readable text.
How the conversion works
Encoding uses encodeURIComponent and decoding uses decodeURIComponent. These browser functions preserve Unicode text and escape characters that could otherwise change URL query or path syntax.
When to use this tool
Use it for individual query values, path segments or other URL components. It is not intended to encode an entire URL because separators such as colon, slash and question mark have structural meaning.
Example
Encoding the query value coffee & tea produces coffee%20%26%20tea, which can be safely inserted as one URL parameter value.
