About URL Encode

URL Encode is a free online tool that converts text and special characters into URL-safe percent-encoded format. When building URLs, query strings, or form data, special characters like spaces, ampersands, and non-ASCII characters must be encoded to ensure they are transmitted correctly. This tool handles that conversion using standard JavaScript encoding functions.

The tool offers two encoding modes: Component mode uses encodeURIComponent() which encodes all special characters, making it ideal for query parameter values. Full URI mode uses encodeURI() which preserves URL structure characters like /, ?, and #, making it suitable for encoding complete URLs. All processing happens in your browser — no data is sent to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is URL Encode? expand_more
URL Encode (also called percent-encoding) is a mechanism for encoding special characters in URLs. Characters that are not allowed in URLs are replaced with a percent sign (%) followed by two hexadecimal digits representing the character code. For example, a space becomes %20.
What is the difference between Component and Full URI mode? expand_more
Component mode (encodeURIComponent) encodes all special characters, making it ideal for encoding individual query parameter values. Full URI mode (encodeURI) preserves URL structure characters like ://?#[]@ so the URL remains navigable. Use Component for values, Full URI for complete URLs.
Is my data secure? expand_more
Yes. All encoding happens entirely in your browser using native JavaScript functions. No data is sent to any server, ensuring your text and URLs remain completely private.
When should I use URL encoding? expand_more
URL encoding is needed when including special characters in query strings, form data, file paths, or any part of a URL. Common use cases include encoding search queries, building API request URLs, and transmitting non-ASCII characters in web applications.
