How to URL-encode a string

Learn when and how to percent-encode URL query values with Toolora’s URL Encode tool.

When URL encoding is needed

Spaces, symbols, and many non-ASCII characters must be encoded in query strings. Without encoding, links can break or be interpreted incorrectly by servers and browsers.

Steps

1) Open URL Encode. 2) Paste the value you want to place in a URL. 3) Click Run. 4) Copy the encoded output into your query parameter.

Decoding

Use URL Decode when you need to convert a percent-encoded value back into readable text. This is helpful when debugging redirects, callbacks, or copied query strings.
