URL Encoder / Decoder

Type or paste text below to automatically percent-encode it (%XX format). Switch to "Decode" to convert an encoded string back to text. Handy when you need to include non-ASCII characters or symbols in a query parameter. Need to convert to Base64 instead? Try theBase64 Encoder/Decoder.

Glossary

Percent-encoding

A way to represent characters that cannot appear directly in a URL (such as non-ASCII characters or certain symbols) as "%" followed by two hex digits. Also known as "URL encoding."

Query parameter

A key=value pair appended after the "?" in a URL. Non-ASCII characters or symbols in a query parameter need percent-encoding.
