URL Encoder & Decoder – Instantly Encode or Decode Your URLs

Welcome to the URL Encoder & Decoder by Smart Utility Hub. This tool helps you quickly encode or decode URLs, making them safe for use in web addresses.

What Is URL Encoding?

URL encoding, also known as percent encoding, transforms special characters in a URL into a safe format using a combination of letters, numbers, and the percent symbol (%). For instance, spaces are replaced with “%20” and other characters like “&” and “=” are encoded to ensure the URL is correctly interpreted by web browsers and servers.
