What is URL Encode/Decode?
URL encoding converts characters that aren't allowed in a URL — like spaces, &, or ? — into a percent-encoded format (e.g. a space becomes %20), so the string can be safely used in a URL, query parameter, or form submission.
FAQ
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Encoding and decoding both happen locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
When would I need this?
Commonly when building query strings, passing special characters (like & or spaces) as URL parameters, or debugging why a link isn't working correctly.
