URL encoding, also known as URI encoding or percent-encoding, converts characters into a format that only contains ASCII characters compatible with the HTTP protocol.
This tool encodes your text into a URL safe string by replacing unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits, or Unicode characters with % followed by multiple pairs of hexadecimal digits.
Common ASCII characters that are also encoded are:
Spaceis encoded as%20+sign is encoded as%2B/is encoded as%2F?is encoded as%3F
Other reserved characters listed by RFC 3986: `!` `#` `$` `&` `'` `(` `)` `*` `,` `:` `;` `=` `@` `[` `]`
Looking to decode a percent-encoded string back to text instead? Use the URL Decoder.
