URL Encoder

Encode or decode URL components safely and instantly.

How to use URL Encoder

URL encoding converts special characters into a safe format that can be used inside web addresses. Decoding turns the encoded text back into readable text.

Basic idea

Text with special characters -> percent encoding -> URL-safe text

Why do spaces become %20?

Spaces are not safe in many URL parts, so they are represented as percent-encoded characters.
