Why use a URL encoder or decoder?

URL encoding helps you safely place spaces, symbols, and reserved characters inside query strings or redirects. This tool keeps both directions together, restores your draft locally, and makes quick comparison, copy, and download actions easy for everyday browser work.

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.
