What is URL encoding?
URL encoding (percent-encoding) replaces reserved characters with % followed by two hexadecimal digits. This allows a URL to carry arbitrary text safely inside query strings and path segments.
How URL encoding works
Encoders typically apply UTF-8 to the input text, then percent-encode bytes that are not allowed in the target URL component. Decoders reverse this process by mapping %XX back to bytes and decoding UTF-8.
How to use this tool
- Paste a URL or query fragment.
- Choose Encode or Decode.
- Copy the result for your code or browser.
FAQ
Should I encode the full URL?
Usually you encode only individual components (like query parameter values), not the whole URL.
