How it works
The tool provides bidirectional conversion (You can edit either field):
- Text to URL: Encodes special characters for safe use in URLs
- URL to Text: Decodes URL-encoded characters back to plain text
Both fields update in real-time as you type, allowing you to see the conversion instantly.
What is URL encoding?
URL encoding (also called percent encoding) converts special characters into a format that’s safe for use in URLs. Special characters like spaces, symbols, and non-ASCII characters are replaced with a percent sign (%) followed by their hexadecimal value.
For example, a space becomes %20, and the character “é” becomes %C3%A9. This ensures URLs work correctly across different systems and browsers.
