THE BASICS
What Is URL Encoding?
URL encoding, also known as percent encoding, is a method of converting characters into a format that can safely be used in URLs.
Some characters have special meanings in URLs, while others may not be supported consistently across systems. URL encoding represents these characters using a percent sign followed by their hexadecimal value.
For example, a space can be represented as %20.
A URL Encoder converts text or URL components into percent-encoded formats, while a URL Decoder converts encoded values back into readable text.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few things, answered.
Quick answers about using the MoSanKit URL Encoder & Decoder.
No. URL encoding converts characters into percent-encoded representations for use in URLs. Base64 converts data into a text representation using a different encoding scheme.
Yes. You can encode and decode URLs online for free without creating an account.
%20 is the percent-encoded representation of a space character.
URL encoding handles a complete URL according to URL structure, while component encoding handles an individual value, such as a query parameter, and encodes reserved characters that could otherwise affect the URL structure.
In most cases, encode individual query parameter values rather than the entire URL. Encoding the whole URL can also encode structural characters such as slashes, question marks and ampersands.
Yes. The tool should support percent-encoded characters and UTF-8 text, including international characters and symbols.
If processing happens entirely in your browser, your URLs and text do not need to be uploaded to an external server.
