Frequently asked questions
How do I percent-encode a URL with spaces?
Paste the URL in, and it converts spaces and special characters like %20 automatically, producing a safe, shareable link instantly.
What's the difference between URL encoding and decoding?
Encoding turns unsafe characters into percent-escaped codes for links, and decoding reverses that back into readable, human text.
Does this tool encode an entire URL or just part of it?
It encodes whatever text you paste in, so encode just the query parameter or path segment if that's all you need escaped.
Can I decode a URL that's already partially encoded?
Yes, decoding reverses percent-escaped characters back to readable text regardless of how much of the string was encoded.
Is there a character limit for encoding or decoding?
No practical limit — it handles anything from a single word to a full query string instantly.
Does encoding a URL change its actual destination?
No, percent-encoding only changes how special characters are represented in the string; the link still points to the same address.
