  • Component mode encodes reserved characters such as ?, &, = and /.
  • Full URL mode preserves URL separators while encoding unsafe characters.

FAQ

What does URL encoding do?
It replaces unsafe URL characters with percent codes so the text can travel safely inside a URL.
Should I encode a full URL or only a parameter?
Encode only the parameter value in most cases. Use full URL mode only when you need to keep separators like : / ? & = readable.
Is the input sent to the server?
No. Encoding and decoding run in your browser.

URL Encode/Decode online

URL encoding turns spaces, accented letters, Turkish characters, emoji and reserved symbols into percent encoded text that can be used safely in a browser address, API query, redirect URL or HTML link. This tool supports URL component encoding, full URL encoding and form style query encoding with plus signs for spaces.

When to use URL component mode

Use component mode for a single query value, path segment or parameter value. It encodes separators such as ampersand, equals sign, slash and question mark so they are treated as text instead of URL syntax.

When to use full URL mode

Full URL mode keeps the structure of a complete link readable while encoding unsafe characters inside it. It is useful when a URL contains spaces or non ASCII characters but the protocol, domain and separators should remain visible.

Privacy

The conversion runs locally in the browser. Your URLs, API values and query strings are not uploaded to the server.
