About URL Encoder

Percent encoding represents reserved and non-ASCII characters as byte escape sequences. This tool encodes a component, including characters such as ampersands and question marks.

When it comes in handy

  • Escape a search parameter.
  • Encode non-ASCII path values.

Why use it here?

  • Runs locally in your browser.
  • No account needed; copy or download your result.

A few things to keep in mind

  • Not intended to encode a complete URL.
  • Spaces become %20 rather than +.

Good questions. Simple answers.

Should I paste a full URL?

Use this for individual components. Encoding a full URL will also escape its separators.

Is my input uploaded?

No. This tool processes your input in your browser. Your input and output are not included in analytics.
