URL Encode

Use the URL Encode tool to encode URLs and special characters for safe transmission in browsers, APIs, and web applications.

A URL Encode tool is a web utility used to convert special characters in URLs or text into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. URL encoding replaces unsafe or reserved characters with percent-encoded values, ensuring compatibility with browsers, servers, and web protocols.

This tool works by converting characters such as spaces, symbols, and non-ASCII characters into encoded representations based on URL encoding standards. It helps prevent errors, broken links, and misinterpreted data when passing information through URLs or query strings.

The URL Encode tool is commonly used for:

  • Encoding query parameters in URLs

  • Preparing data for APIs and web requests

  • Handling special characters safely

  • Preventing URL formatting errors

  • Ensuring cross-browser compatibility

By automating URL encoding, this tool removes the need for manual conversion and reduces the risk of transmission issues. It is especially useful for developers, testers, and anyone working with web links or APIs.
