Frequently Asked Questions

What is URL encoding/decoding?

URL encoding is the process of converting special characters in a URL to a format that can be transmitted over the internet. URL decoding is the reverse process, converting percent-encoded characters back to their original form. For example, spaces become "%20" when encoding, and "%20" becomes a space when decoding.

When would I need to encode or decode a URL?

You might need to encode URLs when building web applications, creating API requests, or working with forms that contain special characters. You might need to decode URLs when debugging web applications, analyzing API responses, or understanding complex URLs with special characters that have been encoded for transmission.

What characters are typically encoded in URLs?

Characters like spaces, ampersands (&), equals signs (=), question marks (?), and other special characters are typically encoded in URLs using percent-encoding.

Is my data stored when I use this tool?

No, all conversion happens in your browser. We don't store or transmit your URLs to any server.
