URL Encoder

Encoding a query value turns spaces, &, = and ? into codes such as %20. Encoding a whole link keeps the address structure and still encodes spaces. Decoding reverses it. A broken % code is rejected.

Frequently asked questions

Does a plus become a space?

No. A plus stays a plus. Some web forms use + for a space. This page uses percent codes only.

What is the difference between the two modes?

A query value encodes everything that has a meaning in a link, including / ? & = and #. A whole link keeps those so the address still works, and keeps codes that are already there.
