About this tool

Spaces, symbols and non-English letters must be percent-encoded before they go into a web address. Encode a value for a query string, or decode a long tracking link to see what it really says.

Frequently asked questions

Component or full URL?

Component encoding also encodes / ? & and =, which is right for a single query value. Full URL encoding keeps those characters so the address still works.
