PeekURL / URL

URL Encode / Decode

Convert text and URL components to or from percent-encoded format directly in your browser.

Your input and result stay in this browser and are not uploaded or saved by PeekURL.

How to use it

Encoding follows JavaScript encodeURIComponent and uses UTF-8 percent encoding.
This tool encodes a URL component, so reserved characters such as /, ?, &, and = are encoded too.
Decoding requires valid percent escapes and valid UTF-8 byte sequences.

Is my input sent to PeekURL?

No. Encoding, decoding, and copying happen entirely in your browser.

Should I encode an entire URL?

Usually no. Encode individual query values or path segments. Encoding a complete URL also encodes separators such as : and /.

Why does decoding fail?

A percent sign must be followed by two hexadecimal digits, and encoded bytes must form valid UTF-8 text.
