URL Tools
URLs break in predictable ways: a space becomes %20, an ampersand inside a value splits a query string in two, and a redirected link quietly carries the wrong parameters.

01 / LISTWHAT YOU CAN DO HERE
02 / OVERVIEWThe encoder here escapes a single value so it can sit inside a query string, and the decoder reverses it so a machine-generated link becomes readable again.
Encoding a whole URL and encoding a single parameter are different jobs: escaping the separators in a URL destroys its structure, while escaping them inside a value is exactly what you want.
- Putting a value that contains spaces or slashes into a query parameter.
- Reading a tracking or redirect URL to see where it actually points.
- Checking what a logged URL looked like before it was escaped.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
03 / FAQWhich URL tool works right now?
URL Encoder / Decoder. It escapes a value the way a single URL component is escaped, and decodes a %-encoded string back to text.
What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?
encodeURI keeps characters that separate a URL (like : / ? &) so an entire address stays intact. encodeURIComponent escapes them too, which is what you need for a single value placed inside a query string.
