What this tool does

Convert text to or from percent-encoded URL representations. Component mode is useful for a value that will become part of a query parameter or path segment. Full URL mode preserves URL separators such as slashes and question marks. Decoding reverses the selected encoding rules. Review the result in the context where you plan to use it.

How to use it

Choose encode or decode, select URL component or full URL, paste the text and run the converter.

Example

hello world

Component encoding produces hello%20world.

Does decoding turn plus signs into spaces?

No. This is URI decoding, not form-urlencoded decoding. A literal plus sign remains a plus sign.

Where is my text processed?

The bundled tool code processes text in your browser. It does not send or save your input. Extensions and other site plugins may have separate behavior.
