About the URL Encoder & Decoder tool
There are several characters in a URL (web address) that have a special meaning - such as #, ?, & and =. If you need to pass these characters through to an application in its URL (Uniform Resource Locator) you need to encode them. This is known as URL encoding.
This online URL encoder and URL decoder converts a string to and from URL encoding.
Use Cases
Use the URL Encoder & Decoder tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:
- Replace special characters in a string with their URL-encoded equivalent
- Replace URL-encoded characters with their original, un-encoded equivalent
Usage
To replace special characters in a string with their URL-encoded equivalent, type or paste the text into the first text-area (labelled "string to URL-encode") and click the "Encode" button. The URL-encoded string will appear in the second text-area.
To replace encoded characters back into their un-encoded equivalent, type or paste the text into the second text-area (labelled "URL-encoded string") and click the "Decode" button. The un-encoded string will appear in the first text-area.
