    Choose "encodeURIComponent" for strict encoding, or "encodeURI" if you want to preserve structural URL characters (like /, ?, &, =).

  3. 3

    Click "Encode" to safely escape characters, or "Decode" to reverse the process.

  4. 4

    View the URL Breakdown table to see your URL parsed into Protocol, Hostname, Path, and Query Params.

  5. 5

    Click the Copy button to copy your result to the clipboard.

Why URL Encoder / Decoder matters

When passing data through URLs in web development, special characters like spaces, ampersands, or equals signs can break your links. URL Encoding (or Percent-Encoding) ensures your text is safely transmitted across the web by replacing unsafe characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. Our URL Encoder supports both standard encodeURI and strict encodeURIComponent methods, making it the perfect tool for debugging API requests or building complex query strings.
