How to Use the URL Encoding
Encodes/decodes a whole URL, preserving structural characters (: / ? # & = etc.). Not the same as URI component encoding — use that for a single query value. The output updates as you type, and your input never leaves this browser tab.

Choose Encode or Decode
Use the switch at the top of the tool. Pick Encode for plain text, or Decode if you already have an encoded value.
- 02
Paste Your Input
Paste or type into the input box. If the input is not valid for decoding, the tool tells you instead of showing broken output.
- 03
Copy the Result
Copy the result to your clipboard with one click. You don't need an account.
