URL encoding, also called percent-encoding, replaces unsafe characters in a URL with a percent sign and a code. For example, a space becomes %20. This keeps links valid and readable by browsers and servers.
Paste your text or URL into the box and the encoded result appears right away. Copy it and use it wherever you need. It’s free and needs no sign-up.
URLs can only contain a limited set of characters. Spaces, symbols and non-English letters must be converted so the link works correctly and doesn’t break.
Spaces, quotes, angle brackets and special characters such as & ? = # and / may be encoded, depending on the mode. Letters, numbers and - _ . ~ stay the same.
Encoding a full URL keeps characters like : / ? and & so the link still works. Encoding a component, such as a query value, encodes those characters too.

A space is encoded as %20 in standard URLs. Some form data uses a plus sign instead.
Yes. Encode each query value before adding it to an API request, so special characters don’t break the URL or change its meaning.
