Best for
Encoding a single query parameter value or decoding a percent-encoded URL component.
Private browser tool
Encode or decode URL components online with percent encoding. Convert spaces and special characters in text locally without uploading your input.
Next step
Simple by design
Paste a URL component or encoded value.
Choose Encode or Decode.
Run URL encode and copy the result.
Practical guidance
Encoding a single query parameter value or decoding a percent-encoded URL component.
Percent-encoded text or its decoded value, using the browser’s URI component functions.
Encode individual values before adding them to a URL. Encoding a complete URL also encodes its separators.
For a search parameter containing tea & coffee, encode the value so the ampersand does not start another parameter. Do not encode an already encoded value again unless the destination explicitly requires it.
Input: tea & coffee
Encoded: tea%20%26%20coffeeGood to know
Percent encoding represents a space using its encoded byte value. This tool uses URI component encoding.
No. A literal + stays + here. HTML form encoding has separate rules that can use + for spaces.
No. This tool processes your file inside your browser and does not send its contents, name or metadata to Filemivo.
Yes. It is free to use and has no artificial file-size limit. Your browser and device memory determine the practical limit.
