→ URL Encoder/Decoder lets you encode or decode URLs instantly in your browser — free, no sign-up, no file uploads to servers.
Use our free URL Encoder/Decoder to encode or decode URLs. Works instantly in your browser — no downloads, no registration, no data uploaded.
The URL Encoder/Decoder converts any text string into percent-encoded URL format (encoding special characters as %XX sequences) and decodes percent-encoded URLs back to readable text — the essential transformation for constructing query strings, debugging URL parameters, and working with web APIs. Incorrectly encoded URLs are one of the most common sources of broken API calls and 400 errors. WebSurfTools' free URL Encoder/Decoder runs in your browser with no account required.

🧹
Always validate generated code or data in a staging environment before using in production. Browser tools process client-side data correctly but can't catch logic errors.
📋
The one-click copy button captures the full output including trailing newlines — manual text selection often misses the last character.
🔒
Never paste production API keys, passwords, or PII into any online tool on a shared computer. Clear the input field after use.
