URL encoder FAQ
Encode the right part of a URL.
What is the difference between URL and component encoding?
Component encoding escapes reserved separators such as slashes and question marks. Full URL encoding keeps structural URL characters while encoding unsafe text around them.
Can the tool decode percent-encoded text?
Yes. Switch to decode mode to turn valid percent-encoded sequences back into readable characters.
Is the text sent to a server?
No. Encoding and decoding happen in the browser using standard URL functions.
