About URL Encoding and Decoding
URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, is a method to encode special characters in URLs so they can be safely transmitted over the internet. Characters such as spaces, punctuation, and non-ASCII characters are replaced with one or more character triplets consisting of the percent character "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.
Decoding reverses this process by converting percent-encoded characters back to their original form. This is important for reading URLs correctly or handling query parameters in web applications.
This tool lets you quickly encode or decode URLs without installing software or using command line utilities. It supports all common characters and is perfect for web developers, marketers, and anyone working with URLs.
Always ensure URLs are properly encoded before including them in links or API requests to avoid errors and data corruption.
