URL Decoder

Paste a URL (percent) encoded string to decode it instantly.

What is this?

URL (percent) encoding replaces characters that aren't allowed in URLs or that have special meaning (spaces, &, =, non-ASCII characters, etc.) with a %XX hex code so they can be transmitted safely. Like Base64, this is just a way to represent text safely — not encryption. You'll run into it constantly in query strings and application/x-www-form-urlencoded form submissions.
