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.
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.
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.
