What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding (Percent-encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Because URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set, characters outside this set must be converted into a valid ASCII format.

URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a % followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example, a space becomes %20.

  • Encode: Use this when you are passing data (like user input) in a query string parameter.
  • Decode: Use this to convert a raw query string or encoded URL back into readable text.
