URL Breakdown

URL Encode and Decode prepares text for safe use inside web addresses. Convert spaces and special characters into a URL safe form, or decode an encoded link back into readable text.

How to encode or decode a URL

  1. Paste your text or URL.
  2. Choose encode or decode.
  3. Run the conversion.
  4. Copy the result.

Why URL encoding is needed

Web addresses cannot contain spaces and certain symbols as they are. Encoding swaps them for safe codes so links and form data work correctly. Without it, a link with special characters can break.

Common cases

Developers encode query values and search terms that go into a URL. Decoding helps you read a messy link and see the real text behind the codes. This tool covers both directions in one place.
