Frequently Asked Questions
What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding (percent-encoding) converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.
Why do I need to decode URLs?
Sometimes URLs contain encoded characters (like %20 for space) that are hard to read. Decoding them makes the URL human-readable again.
Is this tool secure?
Yes, all encoding and decoding happens locally in your browser using JavaScript standard libraries. No data is sent to our servers.
