URL Encoder

About the URL Encoder

URL encoding (percent-encoding) replaces reserved or unsafe characters with %XX sequences so query strings and path segments survive transport. Spaces, ampersands, equals signs, and non-ASCII text often need encoding before they belong in a URL.

How to use

1. Paste the string that will sit inside a query parameter or path segment.
2. Encode it.
3. Insert the encoded value into your full URL.
4. Decode later when you need the original text.

Examples of characters that often need encoding

• Space → %20 (or + in some form encodings)
• &, =, ?, # when they are data, not URL syntax
• Non-Latin letters and symbols

Tips

• Encode parameter values, not the entire URL structure blindly, or you may encode https:// separators by mistake.
• For campaign links, build UTMs carefully and encode values that contain spaces.

FAQ

Is URL encoding security? No. It is transport safety for characters, not access control or encryption.
