URL Encoder/Decoder

About URL Encoder/Decoder

This tool allows you to encode and decode URLs. URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the internet. It is used to ensure that URLs are transmitted correctly and to prevent issues with special characters.

About URL Encoding

URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, is a method to encode special characters in Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) so that they can be safely transmitted over the internet. URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set. Since URLs often contain characters outside this set, like spaces, non-alphanumeric characters, or characters with special meaning in URLs, they need to be converted into a valid ASCII format.

Our free online URL Encoder tool makes this process simple and efficient. Whether you need to encode URLs for your website, APIs, or any other online application, our tool provides instant and accurate results without requiring any installation or software.
