    URL Encoder / Decoder

    The SEO Tools gives you access to the best and fast online URL Encoder/Decoder tool for free!
    When adding unusual characters to a URL parameter, which is also known as percent encoding, this online URL Encoder/Decoder tool comes in handy. Unallowable characters are replaced by a percent sign and two extra hexadecimal numbers during URL encoding. If you want to determine the source of an email campaign or a newsletter, URL decoding is useful.

    How to use this tool
    You just need to paste a text into the space provided on this link https://theseotools.co.uk/url-encoder-decoder. Then all you have to do is click the "Submit" button, and the result will appear immediately.
    When you need to convert an encoded JavaScript URL with barely legible text to a more readable text, this will come in helpful. A non-alphanumeric letter or character is usually included in the URL, which is then encoded as “%”(percent symbol), followed by a few alphanumeric texts. The "+" sign will thereafter be used to encode white spaces in a text.

    Benefits of this tool
    This tool is user-friendly, straightforward, and quite easy to use. Our tool is absolutely free. Because all conversations are encrypted, they are safe and secure to use. All submitted files are erased from the servers after the encoding decoding process.

    A URL Encoder/Decoder is a tool that helps encode or decode URLs. This process is essential for making URLs readable for web browsers and ensuring they work correctly when embedded in links. Here's a quick breakdown of how it works and why it's useful:

    What is URL Encoding?


    URL encoding converts special characters in URLs into a format that web browsers and servers can interpret correctly. URLs should contain only certain characters (letters, numbers, and a few special characters). Any other characters (such as spaces or punctuation marks) must be encoded to avoid issues.

    For example:
    • The space character (" ") is encoded as %20.
    • Special characters like &, /, ?, and = are replaced with their encoded equivalents.
    Why is URL Encoding Important?


    Encoding ensures that URLs remain intact when p***ed around on the internet. Without encoding, a URL with special characters could break links, produce errors, or result in unintended behavior on websites.

    Common Uses of URL Encoding
    • Form Data Transmission: When sending data via URLs (like form submissions), the data is encoded to avoid conflicts with special characters.
    • Linking Resources: URL encoding ensures that file paths, query parameters, and URLs containing non-standard characters work as intended.
    • API Requests: Encoding is crucial for APIs, where URLs need to remain unambiguous.
    What is URL Decoding?


    URL decoding reverses encoding by converting encoded characters back to their original form. This is useful when reading or interpreting encoded data, allowing users to see the URL in its original format.

    Using a URL Encoder/Decoder


    A URL encoder/decoder tool will typically allow you to:
    1. Encode a URL by pasting in a regular URL or text.
    2. Decode a URL that has already been encoded, revealing its original characters.

    Many online tools provide easy-to-use interfaces for encoding and decoding URLs, or you can use built-in functions in programming languages.
