About This Tool
URL encoding (also called percent encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Special characters, spaces, and non-ASCII characters are converted to a format that can be safely transmitted in URLs. This tool provides bidirectional conversion between plain text and URL-encoded strings, making it essential for web developers, API developers, and anyone working with URLs.
