About the URL Encoder / Decoder

Percent-encode and decode URLs. The Toolcenter URL Encoder switches between component encoding (for a single query value, escaping ?, &, =, /) and full-URL encoding (keeping the structure intact), and shows a breakdown of the protocol, host, path, hash and query parameters when you paste a full URL.

How to use it

1Choose encode or decode.
2Toggle “component” depending on whether it is a whole URL or one value.
3Paste your text.
4Copy the result and review the URL breakdown.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use component encoding?+

Use it for a single query value or path segment — it escapes reserved characters. Use full-URL encoding to tidy a complete URL without breaking its structure.

Why does %20 appear instead of a space?+

That is the percent-encoded form of a space, required in URLs. Decoding turns it back into a space.

Can it show me a URL’s parameters?+

Yes. Paste a full URL and the tool lists every query parameter and value in a table.

Is anything uploaded?+

No. Encoding is local.
