URL Encoder/Decoder
URL Encode/Decode is a popular method for adjusting the text format so it can be safely transmitted over the Internet. This method is used to transfer sensitive and valuable information through text securely. Calculatorology URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be understood by web browsers and servers. Typically it replaces them with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example, a space becomes "%20".
If we want to convert this encoded URL into its original form, we can do so through URL decoding. The URL decoding feature reverses the encoding process, returning encoded characters to their original form. This is important for ensuring that URLs are correctly processed and understood, mainly when they include characters that might otherwise be misinterpreted by web systems. This encoding and decoding process helps maintain the integrity of data as it travels across the web.
