URL Encoder & Decoder
Encode special characters in URLs and query strings into safe percent-encoded values, or decode percent-encoded text back into readable URLs. Choose a mode and copy the result.

Pick the matching URL mode
Choose Full URL when the input contains the whole address and its separators should stay readable, such as https://example.com/search?q=hello world. Choose Query string value for one parameter value. That mode encodes more characters, so it is not a replacement for encoding an entire URL.
Encoding and decoding
Encoding replaces characters that need escaping with percent-encoded values. A space, for example, becomes %20. Decode with the matching direction and mode to turn those values back into readable text. A malformed percent sequence cannot be decoded; the tool shows an error and leaves the result unavailable.
This conversion changes the representation of the text. It does not shorten the URL or encrypt its contents. After a successful conversion, use the copy button beside the result.
