About URL Encoder / Decoder
URL encoding (also known as percent encoding) converts special characters in URLs to a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. This tool transforms characters like spaces, symbols, and non-ASCII characters into percent-encoded sequences (e.g., %20 for space) and can also decode these sequences back to their original readable form.
Why use a URL Encoder / Decoder?
URL encoding is essential for web development as it ensures that URLs work correctly across all browsers and servers by replacing unsafe characters with safe equivalents. It prevents URLs from breaking when they contain spaces, special characters, or international characters, making your web applications more robust and internationally compatible.
Who is it for?
Web developers, API developers, SEO specialists, and digital marketers who work with URLs, query parameters, or form data will find this tool indispensable. It's particularly useful for those building web applications, integrating APIs, or analyzing web traffic where properly formatted URLs are crucial.
