URL Encode

What does URL Encode do?

URL Encode converts text into a format that is safe to use in a web address. Spaces and special characters are replaced with percent codes such as %20.

How to use URL Encode

1. Paste or type your code into the box. The Paste button inserts what you copied, and Sample loads an example.
2. Press Encode.
3. Check the result and press Copy to use it. Reset clears everything.

When is it useful?

• Put text with spaces or symbols into a query string
• Build links for APIs
• Create safe links for emails and ads

Example

hello world! becomes hello%20world%21.

Good to know

• Your text is only used to create the result and is not saved.
