Why use this URL encode/decode tool?

URL encoding prepares spaces, symbols, and reserved characters for query strings or redirects. Encode and decode in the same place, compare both values, and copy or download the result.

FAQs

What is URL encoding used for?

It converts reserved characters into escaped values so text can be safely used inside URLs and query strings.

Can I decode an already encoded query string here?

Yes. Switch to decode mode and paste the encoded text to turn it back into readable form when the input is valid.

Does this happen in the browser?

Yes. Encoding and decoding happen locally in your browser without a backend request.

Can I swap the output back into the input?

Yes. The swap action flips the conversion direction and feeds the current output back into the editor.

Can I copy or download the result?

Yes. Copy the encoded or decoded text, or download it as a TXT file.

Does this tool store my data?

Your draft and selected mode are saved in this browser for your next visit. Encoding and decoding still run locally on your device.
