About This Tool
The URL Encoder / Decoder tool helps you convert special characters in a URL into a safe, web-friendly format (encoding) and convert encoded URLs back to readable format (decoding).
URLs cannot contain certain characters like spaces, symbols, or non-ASCII characters directly. Encoding replaces these characters with a format like %20 (for space) so they can be safely transmitted over the internet. Decoding does the reverse — it converts encoded strings back into their original readable form.
This tool is especially useful for developers, SEO professionals, API integrations, and anyone working with query strings or dynamic URLs.

- Paste your URL or text into the input box.
