How to use the URL Encode & Decode

  1. 1

    Paste or type your input.

  2. 2

    Choose the operation and options.

  3. 3

    Copy the output or download it as a file.

Component vs full URL

Component mode (encodeURIComponent) encodes everything except letters, digits and - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ), which is right for a single query value. Full URL mode leaves :/?#&= intact so a complete URL stays usable.

Frequently asked questions

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Everything runs in your browser as you type. Nothing is uploaded or logged, so it is safe to paste API responses, tokens and private text.
