Frequently asked questions
When do I need to URL-encode text?
Whenever you put text into a URL or query string — spaces and special characters like &, ?, and = must be percent-encoded so links work correctly.
Can it decode URLs too?
Yes — paste an encoded URL to turn it back into readable text, which is handy for debugging links and query parameters.
Is my input private?
Yes — encoding and decoding happen in your browser, so nothing is sent to a server.
