URL Encoder or Decoder Tool

About the URL Encoder or Decoder Tool

Use Urgent Expert’s online tool to either encode or decode a string of text.

Encoding

URLs have to be encoded uniformly, and the tool is take certain characters in a URL and replace them with one or more character triplets that consist of the percent character % followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example /ppc will be encoded as %2Fppc

Decoding

URL decoding is the inverse process of URL encoding. It is used to parse query strings or path parameters passed in URLs. It is also used to decode HTML form parameters that are submitted with application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME format URLs can only contain a limited set of characters from the US-ASCII character set. These characters include Alphabets (A-Z a-z), Digits (0-9), hyphen (-), underscore (_), tilde (~), and dot (.).

Any character outside this allowed set is encoded using URL encoding or Percent encoding. This is why, it becomes necessary to decode query strings or path parameters passed in URLs to get the actual values. Urgent Expert’s tool will automatically decode your input string in real time.
