Percent-encode text for a path or query component, or decode encoded values back into readable text without a server round trip.
Encode or decode URL components and complete URLs locally with browser-native percent-encoding functions.
Component mode is intended for a value that belongs inside a URL, such as a query parameter, path segment or search term. It encodes reserved syntax characters more aggressively.
Complete URL mode preserves structural URL characters such as colon, slash and question mark where the browser encoding function treats them as part of the URL syntax.
Percent-encoding represents characters in a URL-safe form. Anyone who sees the encoded value can decode it.
Do not use URL encoding as a privacy or security mechanism for secrets, credentials or sensitive data.
Component mode encodes values such as query parameters; full URL mode preserves URL syntax where appropriate.
Enter plain text to encode or percent-encoded text to decode.
Run the browser-native operation and copy the output into your next workflow.
Useful next steps in the same workflow.
It is the percent-encoded representation of a space character.
Use component mode for query values or individual path segments. Use complete URL mode when the input is a full URL and you want to preserve its syntax.
Yes. Invalid or incomplete percent sequences can cause the browser decoder to reject the input.
No. It is a transport encoding, not encryption.
