FAQ

Component encoding escapes characters such as / ? & = so a value is safe inside a parameter, while full URL encoding leaves the URL structure intact.

Whenever a value contains spaces, non-Latin letters or reserved characters such as & and =, which would otherwise break the link.

They are encoded as UTF-8 percent sequences, which every modern browser and server understands.

A Base64 variant that replaces + and / with - and _ so the result is safe inside URLs and JSON Web Tokens.

A stray percent sign or an incomplete escape sequence makes the input invalid, and the tool tells you instead of returning broken text.

About this tool: URL Encoder / Decoder

Escape and read URLs correctly

The URL Encoder/Decoder converts text between its readable form and percent-encoded URL syntax. Spaces become %20, Arabic and other non-ASCII characters become their UTF-8 escape sequences, and reserved characters like & and ? are safely escaped — or decoded back to plain text in the other direction.

URLs can only carry a limited character set, and everything else must be encoded — which is why query strings full of unencoded spaces and ampersands break links, and why encoded gibberish like %D8%B9 fills address bars. Encoding correctly prevents broken parameters; decoding correctly reveals what a long URL actually contains.

The tool offers both full-URL and component encoding modes, because escaping a whole URL differs from escaping a single parameter value. Everything processes locally and instantly — paste, convert, copy, ship.

Like every Piclizer tool, this one runs entirely in your browser — your files stay on your device.
