A free online tool for encoding and decoding URLs. Ensure your URLs are properly formatted for web transmission.
URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. URLs can only be sent using the ASCII character set, so non-ASCII characters and reserved characters must be converted.
You should encode URLs when including special characters, spaces, or non-ASCII characters in query parameters, path segments, or when constructing URLs dynamically in your applications.
Some characters are reserved and must be encoded: ! # $ & ' ( ) * + , / : ; = ? @ [ ] % and space. Encoding replaces these with a '%' followed by hexadecimal digits.
