URL Encoder / Decoder FAQ
What does URL encoding do? ＋
URL encoding replaces unsafe characters (like spaces or & symbols) with percent-encoded values so that they can be safely transmitted in a URL.
What characters are encoded? ＋
Reserved characters such as space, &, ?, =, / and others are encoded into %xx format to avoid breaking URLs.
How do I decode a URL? ＋
Paste the encoded string and click “Decode”. The tool will convert %xx sequences back to their original characters.
Is this tool safe to use? ＋
Yes. All encoding and decoding happens locally in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
Can I generate QR codes for URLs? ＋
Yes. Use our QR Generator tool to instantly turn long or encoded URLs into scannable QR codes.
