Encode or decode a URL component online
Make a query value safe to place inside a URL, or turn percent-encoded text back into readable characters. The tool uses the browser's standard component encoding rules.
- Percent-encode text for a URL component
- Decode percent-encoded UTF-8 text
- Copy the transformed value
Paste the value you want to transform and choose Encode or Decode. Encoding applies to a component or value, so an entire URL will also have its separators encoded. Check the final URL after placing the result in a query string.
Popular ways to use URL Encode / Decode
- Encode a value before adding it to a query string.
- Read a percent-encoded URL value during debugging.
