Frequently Asked Questions
When should I URL encode text?
Encode text before placing it in a URL query string or path where spaces and special characters are not allowed.
Can it decode encoded URLs?
Yes. Paste encoded text and click Decode to convert percent-encoded characters back to readable text.
Which characters get encoded?
Spaces, slashes, question marks, ampersands, and other reserved characters become percent-encoded values like %20 so URLs stay valid.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Encoding and decoding run locally in your browser, so the text you paste never leaves your device.
