What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding (also known as Percent-encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Because URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set, characters outside this set, including spaces and special symbols, must be converted.

Our URL Encoder / Decoder allows you to rapidly translate regular text into a URL-safe format and reconstruct encoded strings back into readable text directly in your browser without transmitting data to an external server.

Common Encoded Characters

  • Space becomes %20
  • ! becomes %21
  • # becomes %23
  • $ becomes %24
