Encode and Decode URLs Online

URL encoding, also called percent encoding, converts characters that may have special meaning inside a URL into a safe format.

What does URL encoding do?

Characters such as spaces, ampersands, question marks and Unicode text may need to be encoded when they are used as URL parameters or other URL components.

Example

The text Hello world! becomes Hello%20world! when encoded.

UTF-8 support

Unicode text, including accented characters and emoji, is encoded using the browser's standard UTF-8 URL encoding behavior.

Private browser-based processing

Encoding and decoding happen locally in your browser. Your text does not need to be uploaded to HandyKitz.
