How to use URL Encoder & Decoder?
Browsers only understand a specific set of characters in a URL. Special symbols like spaces, commas, or emojis must be converted into a "Percent-Encoded" format.
- Input: Paste your URL or text string into the top box.
- Encode: Click "Encode URL" to turn special characters into valid URL code (e.g., spaces become
%20). - Decode: Click "Decode URL" to turn a messy encoded string back into readable human text.
- Use: Copy the result to use in your browser address bar or code projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to encode URLs?

?, &, and # have special meanings. If your data contains these symbols, they must be encoded to avoid breaking the link.Does this tool support Unicode?
