Frequently Asked Questions

Why do URLs need encoding?+

URLs only allow a limited character set. Spaces, non-Latin letters and symbols like & or ? must become %XX sequences — otherwise links break or parameters get misread.

What's the difference between %20 and + for spaces?+

%20 is the universal encoding; + means space only inside query strings, a legacy form-encoding convention. When unsure, %20 is always safe.

When do I need this tool?+

Building links with parameters by hand, debugging API calls, decoding tracking URLs to see what they contain, and fixing broken links with special characters.

Does it handle full URLs or just components?+

Both directions work on any string. Note that encoding a full URL also encodes its separators — encode parameter values individually when composing URLs.
