About URL Encoding

URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.

Spaces are replaced with "+" or "%20", and other special characters are encoded to prevent interpretation as URL syntax.

How It Works

Our tool uses JavaScript's built-in encodeURIComponent() and decodeURIComponent() functions for accurate encoding and decoding.

For full URL encoding (including protocol and domain), we use encodeURI() and decodeURI() functions to preserve the URL structure.

Privacy & Security

All encoding and decoding happens locally in your browser. We don't store any of your URLs or data on our servers. Your information remains completely private and secure.
