Online URL Encoder & Decoder

Need to make your URLs safe for the web? TinyTool's URL Encoder/Decoder is a simple, browser-based utility that transforms your text into a web-standard format and back again.

What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding (also known as "Percent-encoding") is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Characters that are not allowed in a URL must be encoded. For example, a space becomes %20, and a forward slash becomes %2F.

Why use our URL Tool?

• Web Standard Compliance: Ensure your query parameters and URLs work correctly across all browsers and servers.
• Easy Debugging: Quickly decode complex, encoded URLs from your logs or browser address bar to see the original readable text.
• Safe Special Characters: Safely include characters like &, ?, =, and spaces in your URL parameters.
• Privacy Focused: All encoding and decoding happen locally in your browser. Your data is never sent to our servers.
• Two-Way Conversion: Easily switch between input and output with the "Use as Input" feature.

How to use the URL Encoder/Decoder

1. Input Your Text: Paste your original text or encoded URL into the left text area.
2. Encode or Decode:
   • Click Encode to make the text URL-safe.
   • Click Decode to convert an encoded URL back to plain text.
3. Handle Errors: If you try to decode a string that isn't valid percent-encoding, the tool will alert you immediately.
4. Copy & Reuse: Click "Copy Result" to use your text elsewhere, or "Use as Input" to perform another operation on the result.
