URL Encoder & Decoder

Encode a URL component with percent escapes or decode a percent-encoded string without changing unrelated text.

About this tool

How it works

  1. Copy the encoded component into a query parameter, or verify the decoded string before reuse.
  2. The operation applies to one URL component, not an entire address; malformed percent escapes cause a decoding error.

Type the value of a URL query parameter, such as café & tea, then select Encode or Decode.

Example: hello world & café
