Convert Encoded URLs & Text Back to Readable Form
Encountered a web address or piece of text cluttered with % signs followed by letters and numbers (e.g., example.com/search%3Fquery=Caf%C3%A9)? That's URL encoding (also called percent-encoding), a standard way to represent special characters (like ?, /) and non-ASCII characters (like é) safely within URLs for internet transmission.
While necessary for the web to work correctly, these encoded strings aren't easy for people to read. Our URL Decoder tool instantly reverses this process. It takes any percent-encoded text and translates it back into its original, understandable form by converting all %xx sequences back into the actual characters they represent.
Why Use a URL Decoder?
- Improve Readability: Make sense of encoded URLs found in browser address bars, web server logs, analytics reports, or saved links.
- Understand Data: See the original value of information passed within URL query parameters (the part after the ?).
- Troubleshoot & Debug: Decode strings to check if data was encoded correctly or to diagnose issues related to URL parameters.
- Reverse Encoding: Convert text back to its original state after it was processed by a URL Encoder (like our companion tool).
