About the URL Encoder/Decoder Tool
What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding (percent-encoding) is the process of converting certain characters in a URL (like spaces and special characters) into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. This is done by replacing non-ASCII characters with a '%' followed by two hexadecimal digits.
How does it work?
Paste the text you want to encode or decode into the input box. Select 'Encode' or 'Decode' mode, and the tool will show the converted result in real-time. It's especially useful when your URL query strings or paths contain unsafe characters.
Why use this tool?
This is an essential tool for web developers and data analysts who need to securely pass URL parameters or analyze encoded URLs from log files. It improves efficiency by being readily available in your browser without complex setups.
