Percent-Encoding, Both Ways

Type or paste text on either side: the encode box turns spaces, accented letters and reserved characters (like &, ?, #) into their %XX percent-encoded form so the string is safe to use in a query parameter or path segment. The decode box does the reverse, turning a percent-encoded string back into readable text.

Uses the browser's native encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent, the same encoding real browsers apply — not an approximation. Useful for building query strings by hand, debugging a redirect URL, or reading a percent-encoded parameter someone sent you.
