About the Online URL Decoder Tool

You often see URLs containing many % characters and unreadable strings, which makes them difficult to read and understand. These URLs have been URL-encoded. This URL decoder converts such encoded URLs back into their original, readable form.

URL encoding (also known as percent encoding) is an encoding mechanism defined in the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) standard. This encoding method has two main applications: first, ensuring data integrity when transmitting HTML form data in HTTP requests; second, converting special characters (like spaces, punctuation, etc.) into a safe character format to avoid parsing ambiguities when URLs need to include such characters.
