URL Encoder / Decoder
Escape and unescape URL components instantly. Processed completely in-browser to protect URL payload queries.
URL Escaping Standards
URL encoding (Percent-Encoding) replaces non-ASCII or reserved characters inside URLs with a % followed by their hexadecimal representation. This ensures that parameters containing characters like ?, &, or spaces do not corrupt URL routing logic.
Component Mode (recommended) uses encodeURIComponent, which escapes protocol separators (/, :) so strings can be safely nested as query parameters. Standard Mode uses encodeURI, preserving basic URL syntax.
What is the URL Encoder/Decoder?
The URL Encoder/Decoder converts characters into percent-encoded strings to ensure compatibility with web URLs.
How it Works
It uses browser-native encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent APIs to process text locally.
Benefits of local generation
- Escapes reserved query characters.
- Supports spaces to plus conversions.
- Instant local processing.
Security Information
Processes strings locally in your browser memory, protecting your search strings from network logs.
Best Practices
- Use Component Mode to encode parameters for query strings.
- Use Standard Mode for full website links.
- Double-check encoded outputs before adding them to links.
