How to use URL Encode / Decode

Select the URL conversion direction, provide the text, and the calculator will convert reserved characters into a web-safe form or back again.

What this calculator is for

This calculator is for query strings, web debugging, and link building when spaces, symbols, and reserved URL characters need to be handled correctly.

Tips

Use URL encoding for text that will sit inside a query component or parameter value rather than leaving reserved characters raw.
If the decoded text looks wrong, check whether the original string was encoded more than once before you reverse it.
