About URL Encode / Decode

Safely encode text for use in URLs, or decode percent-encoded URLs back to readable text. Switch between component mode (for query values) and full-URL mode. Runs entirely in your browser.

How to use

  1. 1

    Pick Encode or Decode.

  2. 2

    Toggle 'Component mode' on for query values, off to preserve full-URL structure.

  3. 3

    Paste your text or URL.

  4. 4

    Copy the instant result.

Tip: All processing is performed locally in your browser with zero loss in quality and no upload limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Component mode (encodeURIComponent) escapes reserved characters like / ? & = so a value is safe inside a query string. Full-URL mode (encodeURI) leaves those characters so a complete URL stays valid.

All processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded anywhere.
