About URL encoder

Encode and decode URLs and text with percent-encoding, and inspect a URL by showing its protocol, domain, path and each of its parameters separately.

Example: “café au lait” as a parameter value is encoded as “caf%C3%A9%20au%20lait”. The other way round, if a long link is full of %20 and %3D, decode or inspect it to read each parameter clearly.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text saved or sent anywhere?

No. The text is processed in your browser and never leaves your device.

When should a URL be encoded?

When it includes spaces, accents or other special characters, especially in query parameters.

What is the difference between the modes?

One encodes a component (such as a parameter value) and another the full URL, leaving separators such as / and ? untouched.
