ABOUT

Meet URL Decode and Encode, a simple online tool that does exactly what it says:
decodes from URL encoding as well as encodes into it quickly and easily. URL
encode your data without hassles or decode it into a human-readable format.

URL encoding, also known as "percent-encoding", is a mechanism for encoding
information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Although it is known as URL
encoding it is, in fact, used more generally within the main Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI) set, which includes both Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and
Uniform Resource Name (URN). As such it is also used in the preparation of data
of the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" media type, as is often employed in
the submission of HTML form data in HTTP requests.

Advanced options

 * Character set: In case of textual data, the encoding scheme does not contain
   the character set, so you have to specify which character set was used during
   the encoding process. It is usually UTF-8, but can be many others; if you are
   not sure then play with the available options or try the auto-detect option.
   This information is used to convert the decoded data to our website's
   character set so that all letters and symbols can be displayed properly. Note
   that this is irrelevant for files since no web-safe conversions need to be
   applied to them.
 * Decode each line separately: The encoded data usually consists of continuous
   text, so even newline characters are converted into their percent-encoded
   forms. Prior to decoding, all non-encoded whitespaces are stripped from the
   input to safeguard the input's integrity. This option is useful if you intend
   to decode multiple independent data entries that are separated by line
   breaks.
 * Live mode: When you turn on this option the entered data is decoded
   immediately with your browser's built-in JavaScript functions, without
   sending any information to our servers. Currently this mode supports only the
   UTF-8 character set.

Safe and secure

All communications with our servers come through secure SSL encrypted
connections (https). We delete uploaded files from our servers immediately after
being processed and the resulting downloadable file is deleted right after the
first download attempt or 15 minutes of inactivity (whichever is shorter). We do
not keep or inspect the contents of the submitted data or uploaded files in any
way. Read our privacy policy below for more details.

Completely free

Our tool is free to use. From now on, you don't need to download any software
for such simple tasks.

Details of the URL encoding

Types of URI characters

The characters allowed in a URI are either reserved or unreserved (or a percent
character as part of a percent-encoding). Reserved characters are characters
that sometimes have special meaning. For example, forward slash characters are
used to separate different parts of a URL (or more generally, a URI). Unreserved
characters have no such special meanings. Using percent-encoding, reserved
characters are represented using special character sequences. The sets of
reserved and unreserved characters and the circumstances under which certain
reserved characters have special meaning have changed slightly with each new
revision of specifications that govern URIs and URI schemes.



RFC 3986 section 2.2 Reserved Characters (January 2005) ! * ' ( ) ; : @ & = + $
, / ? # [ ]


RFC 3986 section 2.3 Unreserved Characters (January 2005) A B C D E F G H I J K
L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y
z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - _ . ~


Other characters in a URI must be percent encoded.

Percent-encoding reserved characters

When a character from the reserved set (a "reserved character") has special
meaning (a "reserved purpose") in a particular context and a URI scheme says
that it is necessary to use that character for some other purpose, then the
character must be percent-encoded. Percent-encoding a reserved character means
converting the character to its corresponding byte value in ASCII and then
representing that value as a pair of hexadecimal digits. The digits, preceded by
a percent sign ("%"), are then used in the URI in place of the reserved
character. (For a non-ASCII character, it is typically converted to its byte
sequence in UTF-8, and then each byte value is represented as above.)

The reserved character "/", for example, if used in the "path" component of a
URI, has the special meaning of being a delimiter between path segments. If,
according to a given URI scheme, "/" needs to be in a path segment, then the
three characters "%2F" (or "%2f") must be used in the segment instead of a "/".



Reserved characters after percent-encoding ! # $ & ' ( ) * + , / : ; = ? @ [ ]
%21 %23 %24 %26 %27 %28 %29 %2A %2B %2C %2F %3A %3B %3D %3F %40 %5B %5D


Reserved characters that have no reserved purpose in a particular context may
also be percent-encoded but are not semantically different from other
characters.

In the "query" component of a URI (the part after a "?" character), for example,
"/" is still considered a reserved character but it normally has no reserved
purpose (unless a particular URI scheme says otherwise). The character does not
need to be percent-encoded when it has no reserved purpose.

URIs that differ only by whether a reserved character is percent-encoded or not
are normally considered not equivalent (denoting the same resource) unless it is
the case that the reserved characters in question have no reserved purpose. This
determination is dependent upon the rules established for reserved characters by
individual URI schemes.

Percent-encoding unreserved characters

Characters from the unreserved set never need to be percent-encoded.

URIs that differ only by whether an unreserved character is percent-encoded or
not are equivalent by definition, but URI processors, in practice, may not
always treat them equivalently. For example, URI consumers shouldn't treat "%41"
differently from "A" ("%41" is the percent-encoding of "A") or "%7E" differently
from "~", but some do. For maximum interoperability, URI producers are therefore
discouraged from percent-encoding unreserved characters.

Percent-encoding the percent character

Because the percent ("%") character serves as the indicator for percent-encoded
octets, it must be percent-encoded as "%25" for that octet to be used as data
within a URI.

Percent-encoding arbitrary data

Most URI schemes involve the representation of arbitrary data, such as an IP
address or file system path, as components of a URI. URI scheme specifications
should, but often don't, provide an explicit mapping between URI characters and
all possible data values being represented by those characters.

Binary data

Since the publication of RFC 1738 in 1994, it has been specified that schemes
that provide for the representation of binary data in a URI must divide the data
into 8-bit bytes and percent-encode each byte in the same manner as above. Byte
value 0F (hexadecimal), for example, should be represented by "%0F", but byte
value 41 (hexadecimal) can be represented by "A", or "%41". The use of unencoded
characters for alphanumeric and other unreserved characters is typically
preferred because it results in shorter URLs.

Character data

The procedure for percent-encoding binary data has often been extrapolated,
sometimes inappropriately or without being fully specified, to apply to
character-based data. In the World Wide Web's formative years, when dealing with
data characters in the ASCII repertoire and using their corresponding bytes in
ASCII as the basis for determining percent-encoded sequences, this practice was
relatively harmless; many people assumed that characters and bytes mapped
one-to-one and were interchangeable. However, the need to represent characters
outside the ASCII range grew quickly and URI schemes and protocols often failed
to provide standard rules for preparing character data for inclusion in a URI.
Web applications consequently began using different multi-byte, stateful, and
other non-ASCII-compatible encodings as the basis for percent-encoding, leading
to ambiguities as well as difficulty interpreting URIs reliably.

For example, many URI schemes and protocols based on RFCs 1738 and 2396 presume
that the data characters will be converted to bytes according to some
unspecified character encoding before being represented in a URI by unreserved
characters or percent-encoded bytes. If the scheme does not allow the URI to
provide a hint as to what encoding was used, or if the encoding conflicts with
the use of ASCII to percent-encode reserved and unreserved characters, then the
URI cannot be reliably interpreted. Some schemes fail to account for encoding at
all and instead just suggest that data characters map directly to URI
characters, which leaves it up to individual users to decide whether and how to
percent-encode data characters that are in neither the reserved nor unreserved
sets.



Common characters after percent-encoding (ASCII or UTF-8 based) newline space "
% - . < > \ ^ _ ` { | } ~ %0A or %0D or %0D%0A %20 %22 %25 %2D %2E %3C %3E %5C
%5E %5F %60 %7B %7C %7D %7E


Arbitrary character data is sometimes percent-encoded and used in non-URI
situations, such as for password obfuscation programs, or other system-specific
translation protocols.
