About this tool
Percent-encodes and decodes strings for safe use inside URLs and query parameters, using the same rules browsers apply.
When you’d use it
- Building a query parameter value that contains spaces, ampersands, or other reserved characters.
- Decoding a URL you copied from an address bar to see what it actually contains.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it encode a whole URL, or just one value?
- It encodes what you paste as a single component, equivalent to encodeURIComponent, which is what you want for a query parameter value; don't run a complete URL through it, or the slashes and colons that make it a valid URL will get encoded too.
