URL Encoder / Decoder - Percent Escaping Made Clear

Escape query parameters or whole URLs, and decode percent-encoded strings back to readable text.

Two Modes, Zero Guessing

AiLoveKit's URL encoder / decoder offers both escaping levels: component mode (encodeURIComponent) for individual query values where &, =, and ? must all be escaped, and full-URL mode (encodeURI) that keeps the structure of a complete address intact. Decoding works the same way in reverse.

Which Mode to Use

Frequently Asked Questions

What is percent encoding?

Each special character becomes % plus its two-digit hex code - a space becomes %20, an ampersand becomes %26.

Why are there two encoding modes?

Component mode escapes everything (for parameter values), while full-URL mode preserves URL structure characters like slashes and question marks.

Is anything sent to a server?

No - encoding and decoding run locally in your browser.
