Our URL Encoder/Decoder tool helps you convert special characters in URLs to and from a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by hexadecimal digits. This tool is useful for web developers, testers, and anyone working with URLs that contain special characters, spaces, or non-ASCII characters.
URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character set, so URL encoding is used to convert non-ASCII characters to a format that can be transmitted.
