URL Encoder & Decoder

About URL Encoder & Decoder

Convert text to or from percent-encoded URL syntax using native browser behavior.

Input is processed locally in your browser and is not sent to Navorika.

How to use this tool

  1. 1Choose encode or decode.
  2. 2Select component mode when processing a parameter value.
  3. 3Enter text and review the live result.
  4. 4Swap or copy the output.

Understanding the result

Component mode encodes reserved separators such as question marks and ampersands.

Full URL mode preserves syntax that belongs to an entire URL.

Important limitations

  • Malformed percent escape sequences cannot be decoded and produce an error.
  • This tool does not validate whether the final value is a reachable URL.
