Frequently asked questions

Why encode a URL?

Some characters (spaces, &, accents, Arabic) must be encoded to be sent correctly in an address.

What's the difference between the modes?

“Encode” handles a parameter (also encodes / ? &), “full URL” keeps the address structure.

Why do Arabic characters become %D8…?

They are converted to UTF-8 then percent-encoded — normal and readable by every browser.

How does it differ from Base64?

URL encoding makes text link-safe; Base64 turns binary data into text.

Is this tool really free?

Yes, 100% free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no usage limit.

Are my files safe?

Yes. Processing happens directly in your browser: your files are never uploaded to a server or stored.

When to use it

URL encoding is needed to pass text with spaces, accents or Arabic characters in a link parameter, build a WhatsApp or mailto link with a pre-filled message, or decode an unreadable URL from a tool.

Our tips

  • 💡 Encode only the parameter value, not the whole URL.
  • 💡 A space becomes %20 (or + in a form).
  • 💡 Decode a tracking URL to see the real destination before clicking.
