URL Encoder & Decoder (Percent-Encoding)
Encode strings into RFC 3986 percent-encoded URL parameters or decode encoded URLs back to human-readable text.
Understanding Percent-Encoding (RFC 3986)
Why URL Encoding is Needed
URLs can only contain a limited set of ASCII characters. Special characters like spaces (%20), ampersands (%26), and question marks (%3F) must be percent-encoded to prevent URL syntax errors.
Local Processing Guarantee
All URL string transformations happen locally using standard JavaScript functions inside your browser window without making HTTP server requests.
