URL Encoder & Decoder - Free Online Tool

Encode and decode URLs for safe web usage. Perfect for developers building URLs with special characters.

What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. Spaces become %20, special chars become %XX codes.

Why Encode URLs?

• Special characters - Characters like &, #, % break URLs
• Spaces - URLs can't contain literal spaces
• Unicode - Non-ASCII characters need encoding
• API calls - Query parameters must be encoded

Example

Original: Hello World & Goodbye!

Encoded: Hello%20World%20%26%20Goodbye%21
