Encode or decode URL characters — essential for working with query strings, API parameters, and sharing URLs.
| Character | Encoded | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Space | %20 | Space character |
| & | %26 | Ampersand |
| + | %2B | Plus sign |
| = | %3D | Equals sign |
| / | %2F | Forward slash (component) |
| : | %3A | Colon (component) |
| ? | %3F | Question mark |
| # | %23 | Hash / fragment |
| @ | %40 | At sign |
| ! | %21 | Exclamation mark |
| % | %25 | Percent sign |
| [] | %5B%5D | Square brackets |
The URL Encoder/Decoder translates special characters into web-safe URL formatting (percent-encoding) and vice versa.
Paste your URL or query string into either the Encode or Decode tab, and the tool will safely convert spaces to '%20' and special characters to their hex equivalents.
When dealing with complex tracking URLs, API requests, or debugging broken links, encoding ensures that data is transmitted safely over HTTP without breaking the URL structure.
