URL Encoder & Decoder for Links and Query Strings
Encode readable text for URL parameters or decode percent-encoded links while keeping the conversion private in your browser.
A URL encoder converts spaces and reserved characters into percent-encoded text.
A URL decoder converts values such as %20 back into readable characters.
Use component mode for values
Encode search terms, campaign names, redirect values, and query parameters as components.
Use full URL mode sparingly
Full URL mode keeps separators readable, which is useful for inspecting complete links.
Component mode encodes more characters and is best for query values such as search terms, campaign names, or path segments.
Full URL mode keeps separators like colon, slash, question mark, ampersand, and hash readable.
Use this tool when building query strings, debugging tracking links, preparing API parameters, or reading encoded redirect URLs.
Encoding does not validate whether a destination URL exists or whether a link is safe to open.
Example
Encode the phrase fast private tools before appending it as a search query value.
Assumption
Component mode is the safer default for individual query parameters and path parts.
Limitation
The tool converts text only. It does not check link reputation, redirects, or page availability.
Query strings
Encode search terms, filters, and API parameters before adding them to a URL.
Tracking links
Decode campaign URLs and inspect readable parameter values.
Redirect debugging
Read nested redirect parameters without opening the destination.
API testing
Prepare path segments and query values for local request examples.
When should I use component mode?
Use component mode for query parameter values, path segments, and small pieces that will be inserted into a URL.
When should I use full URL mode?
Use full URL mode when you want to encode or decode a complete URL while keeping URL separators readable.
Why does a space become %20?
Spaces are not safe in raw URLs, so percent encoding represents them as %20.
Does this tool verify the URL?
No. It only encodes and decodes text. It does not open the URL or check whether it is safe.
Suggested workflow
Link encoding path
Encode a URL value, inspect the query string, and reuse the final link in campaign or QR workflows.
