Quick guide
- Paste the complete URL or encoded value into the input.
- Choose Encode for a readable URL or Decode for an existing percent-encoded value.
- Confirm that structural characters such as the scheme, slashes, and question mark remain appropriate and that the text round-trips correctly.
CHECK
Validate the result
Encode https://example.com?q=서울 역 and then decode the result. A correct round trip returns the original text while representing the space and Korean text with percent sequences.
LIMITS
Know the limits
Encoding follows encodeURI rules for a complete URL, so it does not escape every reserved character required for an individual query value. Encoding an already encoded value produces double encoding.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Are %20 and a plus sign always the same kind of space?
%20 is a percent-encoded space. A plus sign may represent a space in form-encoded query data, but a general URL decoder can preserve it as a literal plus sign.
