URL Encoder / Decoder — free online tool

Encode query parameters for fetch calls or decode percent-escaped strings returned by analytics tools.

Useful when you want a quick answer without pasting sensitive data into random chat bots.

How to use URL Encoder / Decoder

Paste the text or URL component into URL Encoder / Decoder.
Choose encode or decode mode depending on whether you see %20 sequences.
Run the action and inspect the output box.
Copy the result into fetch URLs, query strings, or log analysis notes.

Practical tips

Encode query values, not the whole URL—encoding the slashes breaks the path.
Decode percent-escaped strings from logs to read what a user actually requested.
Spaces become %20 (or +) in query strings; pick the form your backend expects.

Example

Encode a space in a query value as %20 before pasting the URL into a fetch call.

Limitations

URL Encoder / Decoder runs on text in your tab only—there is no cloud save, version history, or collaboration. Copy results before closing the page.
