Encode text for safe use in URLs.
🔗 Encodes special characters for safe use in URLs. Spaces become %20, & becomes %26.
URL encoding (also called percent encoding) converts special characters into a format that's safe to include in a URL. Spaces become %20, & becomes %26, and so on.
URLs can only contain a limited set of characters safely. Characters like spaces, quotes, &, =, and non-ASCII letters have special meaning or aren't allowed, so they must be encoded to travel through the web reliably.
%20 (or + in query strings)& → %26= → %3D? → %3F/ → %2FJavaScript has two functions. encodeURI preserves URL-structure characters (/ ? & =) for whole URLs. encodeURIComponentencodes everything, for query parameter values. This tool uses the latter, which is what you usually want.
The URL Encoder handles url encoderdirectly in your browser. Paste or type your input, and the tool processes it instantly — no upload, no signup, no waiting. It's built for the moments when you need a quick transformation and don't want to leave your workflow.
Because the tool runs client-side, it's fast and private. Your text never touches a server, which makes it safe for sensitive content. The interface is keyboard-friendly and works on any device with a modern browser.
