What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set. If your URL contains characters outside the ASCII set (like Chinese characters, emojis, or spaces), the URL must be converted into a valid format by replacing unsafe characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.

🔗 Query Strings

Encode parameters like `?search=hello world` to `?search=hello%20world`.

⚡ Instant

Fast encoding and decoding for developers.

🔒 Secure

100% Client-side. No data logs.
