about this tool

Free URL Encoder & Decoder without giving up your privacy

URL encoding is essential for web development — every query string, every form submission, every API request that passes data in a URL needs proper encoding. This tool uses the browser's native encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent functions, which are the same APIs used by every major JavaScript framework. Your URLs and parameter values are processed entirely in your browser tab — pasting a URL with sensitive query parameters doesn't expose them to any server. Whether you're debugging redirect chains, encoding user input for API calls, or decoding a percent-encoded string to see what's inside, your data stays completely private.

Privacy by design. This tool loads once and runs entirely in your browser tab. Close the tab and nothing remains. No cookies, no tracking, no server — just the utility you need, instantly.
