About URL Encoder / Decoder

Free URL Encoder Decoder — Encode and Decode URLs Online Instantly

Introduction:

URLs can only contain a limited set of characters — and when you try to include spaces, special symbols, or non-ASCII characters in a URL, things break. URL encoding (also called percent-encoding) converts these problematic characters into a safe format for web transmission. The URL Encoder/Decoder from EazySEOTools handles this conversion instantly and for free.

What Is a URL Encoder/Decoder?

URL encoding converts special characters in a URL into a %XX hexadecimal format safe for web use. URL decoding reverses this process, converting encoded strings back to human-readable form. For example, a space becomes %20, and an ampersand becomes %26.

Features of the URL Encoder/Decoder:

  • Instant encoding — converts any text or URL to percent-encoded format
  • Instant decoding — converts encoded URLs back to readable form
  • Handles all special characters — spaces, symbols, international characters
  • Copy-ready output — paste directly into your code or browser
  • Free, no registration, works on any device

Frequently Asked Questions:

When passing URLs as query parameters, building API requests, or including special characters in links.

Q: What characters need to be encoded?

Spaces, &, =, ?, #, %, +, and non-ASCII characters all require encoding in URLs.

Q: What is the difference between URL encoding and Base64?

URL encoding is for making URLs safe to transmit. Base64 is a different encoding method used for binary data in text form.

Q: Will encoding a URL change where it goes?
