Frequently Asked Questions

What is URL encoding used for?

URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, is used to convert characters into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a '%' followed by two hexadecimal digits, ensuring web servers interpret URLs correctly.

How do I encode or decode a URL?

Simply paste your URL or text into our tool's input field and click either the 'Encode' or 'Decode' button. The tool will instantly process your text and provide the converted result, which you can then copy with a single click.

Is this URL Encoder/Decoder free to use?

Yes, our URL Encoder/Decoder is 100% free to use with absolutely no hidden charges or subscription requirements. You can encode and decode as many URLs as you need without any daily limits.

Why do I see %20 in a web address?

The sequence '%20' represents a blank space in URL encoding. Because URLs cannot contain actual spaces, browsers and servers automatically convert spaces to '%20' to maintain a valid and uninterrupted web address.

Will my data be stored when using this tool?

No, all encoding and decoding happens directly within your web browser, meaning your data is never uploaded to or stored on our servers. This ensures complete privacy and security for your sensitive URLs.
