URL Component Encoder and Decoder
Links with spaces or non-ASCII characters break when copied. This tool converts UTF-8 text into safe percent-encoded form in your browser. See how spaces and special characters are represented. Learn which URL part needs encoding.
Step by step
- Type the text to encode.
- Press encode to get the output.
- Add it to the query part of your address.
- Paste into decode to verify the original.
- Open the link in a new tab to confirm.
Example scenario
Encoding a search phrase with Turkish characters shows codes like %C4%B0 and %20. Add it to the query part, then decode to confirm the original returns correctly.
Check your result
Open the encoded address in a new tab. Check spaces and special characters restored fully. Try it on mobile too.
Frequently asked questions
Whole URL or part?
Usually only the query value; full encoding breaks : and /.
Plus or %20?
Forms use +, paths prefer %20.
Why do letters look odd?
UTF-8 multi-byte is normal; decoding restores them.
Decode suspicious links safely?
Decoding is local, but do not open unknown domains.
