Free URL Encoder & Decoder — Online Tool
Skycally's URL encoder converts text into URL-safe percent-encoded format and decodes it back. Perfect for query strings, API parameters, and links containing spaces or special characters.
URL encoding (percent-encoding) replaces reserved characters like spaces, &, ?, and non-ASCII letters with %XX sequences so they can safely travel inside a URL. This is essential whenever you build query strings, share search links, or pass arbitrary text through HTTP parameters.
Our tool uses the browser's native encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent APIs, which means it handles full Unicode — emojis, Arabic, CJK characters — correctly. No data ever leaves your device.
