Paste text and choose URL encode or URL decode. When encoding, pick
A part for a single query value or path segment (everything special is escaped), or
A whole URL to keep : / ? & = intact. Paste a full URL to see its host, path and
every query parameter, decoded.
HTML entities
HTML encode turns <, >, & and quotes into entities
so text can be shown safely in a page. HTML decode turns entities back into characters.
Good to know
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
Should a space be %20 or +?
In URLs a space is %20. HTML forms send + instead (form encoding). Tick "Spaces as +" when you're building form data. The decoder treats + as a space by default.
Why does decoding say the input is broken?
A % must be followed by two hex digits, and the bytes must form valid UTF-8. A cut-off escape such as %E0%A4 can't be decoded.
