URL Encode

Encode text and special characters for safe use in URLs and web applications.

How It Works

1

Input Your Text

Enter the text or URL parameters that contain special characters you want to encode.

2

Automatic URL Encoding

The tool converts special characters to percent-encoded format (%20 for spaces, etc.) for URL safety.

3

Copy Encoded Result

Copy the URL-safe encoded text to use in web applications, APIs, or browser address bars.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is URL encoding and why is it needed?

URL encoding (percent-encoding) converts special characters into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. Characters like spaces, ampersands, and non-ASCII characters need to be encoded to prevent URL parsing errors.

Which characters get encoded?

Special characters like spaces ( ), ampersands (&), question marks (?), hash symbols (#), and non-ASCII characters get encoded. For example, a space becomes %20 and & becomes %26.

Is this the same as HTML encoding?

No, URL encoding is different from HTML encoding. URL encoding uses percent signs (%) followed by hex codes, while HTML encoding uses entities like & and <.

Can I encode entire URLs?

You can encode URL components like query parameters, but be careful not to encode the entire URL structure (http://, slashes, etc.) as this would break the URL format.
