What this tool does
Encode or decode complete URLs and individual URL components.
Privacy and recovery
Input is processed locally. Text drafts are stored only in this browser for accidental-refresh recovery and can be cleared from the workspace.
Review the result
Browser tools reduce repetitive work, but output should still be reviewed before it is used in production, security, or data-migration workflows.
How to use URL Encoder & Decoder
- Enter or paste the source value.
- Choose the required transformation or option.
- Review the output and any warnings.
- Copy, download, or send compatible output to another compatible tool.

Developer tips
- Keep sensitive input in the browser and avoid deliberate sharing unless necessary.
- Use tool chaining to continue a conversion without manual copying.
- Download important output before clearing browser storage.
Browser compatibility
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari are supported. File, clipboard, Web Crypto, worker, canvas, and download capabilities can vary by browser and security context; the interface reports unavailable operations rather than uploading data as a fallback.
