URL Encode Decode Converter

Why URL encoding matters

URL encoding replaces reserved and unsafe characters with percent-encoded sequences. This ensures URLs are interpreted consistently by browsers and servers.

URL vs URL component

Encode a full URL when you need to preserve URL structure. Encode a component when you are placing individual values in query parameters or path segments.

When to decode

Use decode mode when you receive encoded parameters and need readable text for debugging, logging, or data processing.
