FAQ
What does URL encoding do?
URL encoding replaces characters that may not be safe in a URL component with percent-encoded values.
Does this tool encode a full URL?
It is best for URL components such as query values. Full URLs can contain reserved characters that should not all be encoded at once.
Does this tool upload my text?
No. Normal encoding and decoding runs in your browser.
