About this tool

  
URL Encode runs entirely in your browser. URL Encode builds and encodes links in your browser, percent-encoding parameters so the URL stays valid.

  
Reserved characters are escaped to standard rules so the link works everywhere. No data is sent anywhere, so it stays fast and private by default.

    
When to choose Url Encode

  
This tool is for percent-encoding text so it is safe inside a URL.

  
Worked example: You encode a search phrase with spaces and symbols for a query string.

  
Encode direction; the decoder reverses it and the combined tool does both.

  
Why do spaces become %20?
URLs cannot contain raw spaces, so encoding replaces them with %20 (or +) to stay valid.
