What is URL encoding?

URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be safely used in a web address. For example, spaces become %20 and other reserved characters are percent-encoded.

Why use a URL encoder or decoder?

A URL encoder helps prepare text for query strings, links, and API requests. A decoder helps turn encoded strings back into readable text when you need to debug or inspect URLs.

Common use cases

  • Encoding query parameters
  • Decoding percent-encoded links
  • Working with API requests
  • Debugging web application URLs

Examples

Original text:
hello world@example.com

Encoded text:
hello%20world%40example.com
