URL Decode

Introducing URL Decode and Encode, a user-friendly online tool that effortlessly decodes and encodes data in URL format. Whether you need to decode URL-encoded information into a human-readable format or encode data for URL transmission, this tool ensures a quick and hassle-free process.

Understanding URL Encoding:

URL encoding, often referred to as "percent-encoding," is a mechanism used for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). While commonly known as URL encoding, it is applicable more broadly within the main Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) set, encompassing both Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and Uniform Resource Name (URN). This encoding method is frequently employed in preparing data for the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" media type, particularly in submitting HTML form data in HTTP requests.

Advanced Options:

• Character Set: Specify the character set used during the encoding process. This is crucial for converting decoded data to the website's character set, ensuring proper display of all letters and symbols.

• Decode Each Line Separately: Useful when decoding multiple independent data entries separated by line breaks, ensuring the integrity of each entry.

• Live Mode: Enables immediate decoding using your browser's JavaScript functions, without sending information to external servers. Supports UTF-8 character set in live mode.

Safe and Secure:

• All communications are secured with SSL encrypted connections (https).
• Uploaded files are promptly deleted from servers after processing, and resulting files are deleted after the first download attempt or 15 minutes of inactivity (whichever is shorter).
• No retention or inspection of submitted data or uploaded files occurs.

Completely Free:

This tool is freely accessible without the need for software downloads, simplifying your URL encoding and decoding tasks.

Details of URL Encoding:

URL encoding involves reserved and unreserved characters, where reserved characters may have special meanings. Forward slash characters, for example, are used to separate parts of a URL. Unreserved characters have no such special meanings. Through percent-encoding, reserved characters are represented using special character sequences. The sets of reserved and unreserved characters, along with the circumstances under which certain reserved characters have special meaning, may vary across URI specifications.
