About URL Encode/Decode

Spaces, ampersands, and other symbols break URLs unless they are percent-encoded. This tool converts them safely, or reverses the encoding.

Common Use Cases:

  • Fixing a link with spaces in the path
  • Encoding search terms for a URL
  • Reading a messy encoded link

Developers: see the CI/CD & pipeline guide. More tutorials: guides hub · by Nalla.
