When Should You Use URL Encoding or Decoding?

Encoding URLs:
When you need to include special characters (like spaces or punctuation) in a URL, such as for query parameters, form submissions, or redirects. URL encoding converts characters like spaces into %20 and other symbols into their ASCII equivalents.

Decoding URLs:
If you encounter an encoded URL (e.g., %20 for a space) and need to restore it to a human-readable format, URL decoding will return the original text.

Working with File URLs:
If you're working with files that need URL-safe encoding (e.g., images, documents), you can use this tool to encode or decode them for proper web use.

Hello%2C%20how%20are%20you%3F

Decoded URL

If you input the encoded URL:

Encoded URL:
Hello%2C%20how%20are%20you%3F

Decoded Text:
Hello, how are you?
