URL Encoder/Decoder
Encode and decode URL parameters and query strings. Handle special characters, spaces, and international text in URLs.
About URL Encoder/Decoder
URL encoding converts characters that are not allowed in URLs into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. Special characters are replaced with a % followed by two hexadecimal digits representing the ASCII code of the character.
This tool supports both encodeURIComponent (for query parameters) and encodeURI (for full URLs), making it suitable for all URL encoding needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is URL encoding?
URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a % followed by two hexadecimal digits, ensuring URLs are valid and can be transmitted correctly.
What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?
encodeURI encodes a complete URL and preserves special URL characters like :/?&=. encodeURIComponent encodes individual URL parameters and encodes all special characters including :/?&=.
