FAQs
Is this URL encoder free?
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up and no limits.
What is URL encoding?
URL encoding (percent-encoding) converts characters that are not allowed in a URL — such as spaces and symbols — into % followed by two hex digits, so a space becomes %20.
When do I need to encode a URL?
Whenever a link or query parameter contains spaces, special characters or non-Latin text. Encoding keeps the URL valid so browsers and servers handle it correctly.
Is my data stored anywhere?
No. Encoding and decoding happen entirely in your browser and nothing is transmitted or saved.
