Safely encode and decode URLs and URI components. Instantly break down URLs into protocol, hostname, path, and query params.

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.
