Why Encode URLs?

URLs can only contain certain characters (letters, numbers, and a few symbols). Spaces, punctuation, and Unicode characters must be percent‑encoded (e.g., space becomes %20). Our tool uses the standard encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent functions, which are perfect for query strings and form data. Use it for API calls, building links, or debugging encoded parameters.

📌 How to Use

Enter any text or encoded URL.
Click "Encode" to percent‑encode special characters.
Click "Decode" to convert percent‑encoded strings back to normal text.
Copy the result.
