URL Encoder & Decoder
This tool helps you encode URLs to ensure they're safely transmitted over the internet, and decode URL-encoded text back to its original form.
Component: encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent (encodes all special characters)
What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding converts characters that are not allowed in a URL into character-entity equivalents. For example, spaces are converted to %20, question marks to %3F, and so on.
URL encoding is used for:
- Ensuring URLs are properly formatted for transmission over the Internet
- Encoding form data when sending it to a server
- Handling special characters in URLs and query parameters
- Preventing injection attacks by properly encoding user input
