URL Encoder / Decoder

What is a URL Encoder/Decoder?

A URL Encoder/Decoder is a web development tool that encodes URLs (converts special characters to percent-encoded format) and decodes URLs (converts percent-encoded characters back to readable format). URL encoding is essential for web development, as URLs can only contain certain characters, and special characters must be encoded to ensure proper transmission and interpretation. This tool helps developers, web designers, SEO specialists, and anyone working with URLs to properly encode or decode URL components. Whether you're building web applications, handling query parameters, or working with API endpoints, this tool ensures URLs are properly formatted.
