Sometimes, when you share a web link, certain characters like spaces or symbols can break the link or cause issues. URL encoding is a way to make those characters safe for use on the internet. It turns them into a special format that browsers can understand — using a percent symbol followed by a code.
Original URL: https://example.com/search?query=hello world
Encoded URL: https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fsearch%3Fquery%3Dhello%20world
Just type or paste your text above, then choose whether you want to encode or decode it. The result will show up right away. It's quick, easy, and works with all standard web formats.
