How to Encode and Decode a URL Online
Encoding and decoding URLs is a two-click task once you know which part to transform.
Encoding a value
Paste the text destined for a query parameter and encode it. Spaces become %20, ampersands %26, and so on, making the value safe to embed.
Decoding for inspection
Paste an encoded URL or parameter and decode it to read the original characters. This is the quickest way to make sense of a noisy, escaped link.
