Frequently Asked Questions about URL Encoding
What is URL Encoding (Percent-encoding)?
URL Encoding is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits (e.g., a space becomes %20).
Why do I need to encode URLs?
URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set. If your URL contains special characters, spaces, or non-ASCII letters, they must be encoded so that browsers and servers process them correctly.
Do you save my URLs or data?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript (client-side). Your data is never sent to our servers and remains completely private.
