The Essential Tool for Every Digital Toolkit.
In the world of web development, marketing, and SEO, URLs are constantly manipulated. Special characters, spaces, and non-ASCII text must be perfectly encoded for transmission, or decoded for readability and analysis. A single misencoded character can break a link, distort tracking parameters, or cause a server error.
Encode and Decode URLs Instantly with Our Free Online Tool.
Switch between human-readable and web-safe formats in a single click. Our robust encoder/decoder handles all standard and edge cases, ensuring your URLs, query strings, and data parameters are perfectly formatted for any application or analysis.
Why URL Encoding/Decoding is a Daily Necessity:
Ensure Link Integrity in Campaigns: Before sending a marketing email or posting a link with UTM parameters (&, ?, =), you must encode it to ensure ESPs and social platforms don't break the tracking.
Debug & Analyze SEO and Analytics Data: Raw analytics logs and crawled URLs are often encoded. Decode them to understand the actual search queries, page paths, and parameters driving traffic.
Prepare Data for APIs & Web Development: When passing data via GET requests or within APIs, spaces and special symbols must be converted to their %-encoded equivalents (e.g., space becomes %20).
Handle International Content: Encode non-English characters (e.g., café becomes caf%C3%A9) so they are correctly transmitted and displayed across all systems.
From Raw Text to Web-Safe Format and Back.
Our tool provides a clean, two-way interface for precise control:
URL Encoding (Percent-Encoding): Converts strings into a format safe for HTTP transmission. Processes spaces, symbols, and Unicode.
URL Decoding: Reverts encoded strings (%20, %3F, %C3%A9) back to their original, readable form.
Full-Compliance Encoding: Correctly handles reserved characters (!, *, ', (, ), ;, :, @, &, =, +, $, ,, /, ?, #, [, ]).
Batch Processing: Encode or decode multiple lines or entire blocks of text at once.
