FAQs
What is URL encoding?
URL encoding converts special characters in URLs into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.
When should I use URL encoding?
You should use URL encoding when you need to include special characters, spaces, or non-ASCII characters in URLs, or when working with query parameters that contain special characters.
What's the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?
encodeURI preserves characters that have special meaning in URLs (like /, ?, :, etc.), making it suitable for encoding full URLs. encodeURIComponent encodes all special characters, making it better for encoding URL parameters.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, our URL encoder/decoder is completely free and requires no registration or sign-up.
Does this tool work with all types of URLs?
Yes, it works with all valid URLs, including those containing query parameters, special characters, and international characters.
Is my data kept private when using this tool?
Yes, all encoding and decoding is performed locally in your browser. We never store or transmit your URLs or data.
Can I use this tool for API development?
Absolutely! This tool is perfect for developers working with APIs, especially when testing endpoints that require URL-encoded parameters.
