What is a URL Encoder/Decoder?
A URL encoder converts special characters and spaces in URLs to percent-encoded format (e.g., space becomes %20), making URLs safe for transmission over the internet. A URL decoder reverses this process, converting percent-encoded URLs back to readable text.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I encode URLs?
Encode URLs when they contain special characters, spaces, or non-ASCII characters to ensure safe transmission over HTTP.
What characters need URL encoding?
Spaces, ampersands (&), question marks (?), hash (#), and other special characters should be encoded in URLs.
Is URL encoding the same as Base64 encoding?
No, URL encoding (percent encoding) is different from Base64. URL encoding replaces special characters with %XX format.
Can I encode entire URLs or just parameters?
You can encode both. However, typically only query parameters and path segments need encoding, not the entire URL.
