URL Encoder / Decoder
The URL Encoder/Decoder tool is essential for web development and debugging. It helps you convert text into a URL-safe format (Percent-encoding) and vice-versa.
What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding stands for encoding certain characters in a URL by replacing them with one or more character triplets that consist of the percent character "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. The two hexadecimal digits represent the numeric value of the replaced character.
Why is it needed?
URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set. Since URLs often contain characters outside the ASCII set, the URL has to be converted into a valid ASCII format. URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.
