URL Encoder

Safely encode text into a URL-friendly format, converting special characters to percent-encoded values.

The URL Encoder converts special and unsafe characters in a string into percent-encoded form (%20 for space, etc.). This is vital for correctly formatting query strings, parameters, and URLs to prevent parsing errors. Encode your URL string now!

Encode text for use in URLs (RFC 3986). Special characters and spaces will be converted to percent-encoded format (e.g., space → %20).

Tip: Enter parameter values, search terms, or any text that needs to be URL-safe. For example: hello world → hello%20world

FAQ

Common questions 3 questions

What is URL encoding (Percent-Encoding)?

It's a mechanism for translating data into a format that can be safely transmitted over the Internet within a URL, primarily for query parameters.

Why is it necessary to encode spaces?

Spaces are considered unsafe characters in a URL and must be encoded to `%20` (or sometimes `+`) to prevent the URL from being misinterpreted by a browser or server.

When should I use this tool?

Whenever you are constructing a URL with variable data that might contain special symbols, like search query parameters or file names.
