URL encode and decode online

Encode text for URLs (percent-encoding) and decode %E0%B8… links back into readable text.

About URL encode / decode

Links copied from a browser often turn non-English text into long %E0%B8%AA… sequences. This page decodes them back into readable text, or encodes text so it's safe inside a URL.

“Parameter value” mode encodes every special character including / ? & = (for values after ?q=); “Whole link” keeps the URL's structure characters.

FAQ

What does + mean in a URL?

In form-encoded query values + means a space — tick “Treat + as space” when decoding.
