FAQ
URL Encoder/Decoder — frequently asked questions
What is the difference between component and full-URL encoding?
Component mode also encodes characters such as &, = and ?, which suits a value inside a query string. Full-URL mode leaves the URL structure intact.
Why do URLs need encoding?
Spaces and special characters are not allowed in URLs as they are, so they are replaced with percent codes such as %20.
Are my input uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. URL Encoder/Decoder runs in your browser, so your input stay on your device and are never sent to our servers or saved anywhere.
