Understanding URL Encoding

In web development and digital marketing, URLs often contain special characters that need proper encoding for reliable functionality. Our URL Encoder/Decoder tool simplifies this essential process.

What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.

Common URL Encoding Examples:
  • Space → %20
  • & → %26
  • + → %2B
  • / → %2F
