About URL Encoder / Decoder
URLs are picky about which characters they allow, so spaces, ampersands, and symbols in a query string can quietly break a link or an API call. Encoding turns those troublesome characters into a safe percent-format, and decoding reverses it so you can read what a long, scrambled URL actually says. This tool handles both directions for full URLs and individual query parameters.
Paste the text or link you want to fix, pick encode or decode, and copy the clean result. It works instantly in your browser, free of charge and without any signup, and your data never leaves your screen. It is the simple way to make a link request-safe or to decode a messy URL you found in a log or address bar.

FAQ
What is the difference between encoding and decoding here?
Encoding converts unsafe characters into percent-codes so a URL works in a request. Decoding turns those codes back into normal, readable characters.
Does it encode the whole URL or just parameters?
You can encode an entire URL or just a single query parameter value, depending on what you paste in.
Is there a limit on length?
It comfortably handles long URLs and query strings, and everything is processed in your browser without being saved.
Can I use URL Encoder / Decoder on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
