Guide & Explanations

Online URL Encoder / Decoder

The URL encoder and decoder is an essential tool for web developers, API testers and SEO professionals. It handles special characters according to RFC 3986 standards and offers three distinct working modes.

Why encode a URL?

URLs can only contain certain ASCII characters. Spaces, accented characters, Asian characters and special symbols must be transformed into %XX sequences (percent-encoding) to be transmitted correctly over HTTP.

4 encoding methods

  • encodeURIComponent: encodes everything except unreserved characters. Ideal for parameter values
  • encodeURI: preserves URL separators (/ ? # & = @). Ideal for complete URLs
  • HTML form: replaces spaces with + (application/x-www-form-urlencoded standard)
  • Custom: precisely choose which characters to preserve

Additional tools

  • URL Parser: breaks down a URL into its components (protocol, host, port, path, parameters, fragment) and lists all query string parameters in a table
  • URL Builder: assemble a clean URL from its components, with dynamic parameter addition and automatic encoding
