How to use URL Encoder
- 1
Paste text or a URL into the box.
- 2

Common uses
- Encoding a query parameter value that contains spaces, symbols, or another URL
- Preparing text to safely embed inside a URL without breaking it
- Encoding non-English text for a URL that only accepts ASCII characters
Supported formats and limitations
Accepts text, up to one file at a time.
- This encodes a string as a URL *component* (matching `encodeURIComponent`) — it percent-encodes characters like `/`, `:`, and `?` too, which is correct for a query parameter value but not for encoding a complete, already-structured URL.
Frequently asked questions
Yes — non-English characters are percent-encoded correctly, the same way a browser encodes them.
It encodes the whole input as a single component — characters like `/` and `:` get encoded too, which is what you want for a query parameter value, not for a complete URL you want to keep navigable.
No. Encoding happens entirely in your browser.
