About URL Encoder / Decoder

The URL encoder/decoder is a tool that allows you to encode and decode URLs or web addresses. URL encoding is the process of converting characters that are not suitable for use in a URL into a format that can be used in a URL. This is necessary because URLs can only contain a limited set of characters, and certain characters, such as spaces and certain punctuation marks, must be encoded in order to be used in a URL.

A URL decoder is the reverse process, converting encoded characters back into their original form. URL encoders/decoders can be useful for website developers and testers, as well as for anyone working with URLs or web addresses in any capacity. They can be used to troubleshoot URL encoding issues, to encode special characters in URLs, or to decode URLs to see what characters they contain.
