Free URL encoder for links and queries
A URL encoder turns spaces and special signs into codes a link can carry. Spaces become %20. Quotes and other signs get their own codes too.
Paste your text, pick Encode or Decode, and copy the result. The tool runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Use it when a search term, file name, or tracking link breaks. Encode only the query part, not the https:// at the start.
Good for
- Search query strings
- File names in links
- API test URLs
- Tracking link fixes
Tips
- Encode the query only
- Paste the full string
- Decode to check results
- Do not encode the domain
Common questions
What does a URL encoder do?
It turns spaces and special signs into percent codes so a link does not break.
When do I need a URL encoder?
When a link fails because of spaces, quotes, or other signs in the query part.
Does this URL encoder also decode?
Yes. Switch to Decode to turn codes like %20 back into normal text.
Is my text sent to a server by the URL encoder?
No. Encode and decode run entirely in your browser.
Is a URL encoder the same as Base64?
No. URL encoding is for web links. Base64 is a different format for other uses.
