How it works
- Paste your text or URL.
- Choose encode or decode and the scope.
- Click “Convert” and copy the result.
Notes and limitations
- “Component” encodes every special character including
/ ? & =– right for single parameter values. - “Full URL” keeps the structure of an address intact and encodes only characters that are not allowed.
- Form data (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) represents spaces as “+”.
