URL Encoder/Decoder

URL Encoder/Decoder

Description & Example

URL encoding (or percent encoding) is used to convert characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. This is especially important for URLs containing spaces, symbols, or other non-alphanumeric characters.

This tool allows you to encode a URL so that it is safe for use in HTTP requests, or to decode a URL-encoded string back into its normal form.

For example, encoding the URL https://www.example.com/search?q=hello world&lang=en produces:

https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dhello%20world%26lang%3Den

Decoding the string https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dhello%20world%26lang%3Den returns:

https://www.example.com/search?q=hello world&lang=en

This tool is useful for ensuring URLs are properly formatted when sending requests or for debugging URL-related issues.
