Frequently Asked Questions

What is URL encoding?

URL encoding (percent encoding) converts special characters to a % followed by two hex digits so they're safe to use in URLs.

Why is URL encoding necessary?

URLs can only contain certain ASCII characters. Spaces, special symbols, and non-ASCII characters must be percent-encoded.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. URL encoding/decoding happens in your browser using JavaScript's encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent.

What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?

encodeURI preserves URL structure characters; encodeURIComponent encodes everything — use it for parameter values.

Is this tool free?

Yes, 100% free. No signup required.

💡 Query parameters

Always URL-encode values in query parameters — spaces become %20 and & becomes %26.

💡 Decode URL parameters

Paste an encoded URL to quickly decode it and see the original parameter values.

💡 Form submissions

HTML forms automatically encode field values before submission — URL encoding is the mechanism.

💡 API integration

When constructing API request URLs, always encode user-provided values to prevent injection.

URL encoding and decoding is a daily task for web developers building APIs, handling query parameters, and working with web application routing.
