FAQ

Should I paste a full URL or just a query value?

You can use either. This tool works well for full URLs, query strings and smaller URL components.

Can I decode percent-encoded text quickly?

Yes. Paste the encoded string and choose decode to get readable text back.

Encode special characters for safer URLs

URL encoding matters when you are working with query strings, redirects, tracking parameters or form values that contain spaces, symbols or reserved characters.

Decode values when you need to debug them

A decoder is just as useful because encoded strings can be difficult to inspect by eye. Decoding them makes it easier to see the real parameter values before you change or reuse them.

Example

Example: encode a query value for a redirect URL, or decode a long parameter string from a browser address bar or analytics link.
