Frequently Asked Questions
How do I decode a URL encoded string?
Paste the URL encoded string (containing %XX codes) into the input area and the tool instantly converts it back to readable text. For example, "Hello%20World" becomes "Hello World".
What does %20 mean in a URL?
%20 is the URL encoded representation of a space character. Similarly, %26 is "&", %3D is "=", and %3F is "?". URL encoding replaces unsafe characters with percent signs followed by two hexadecimal digits.
Can I decode an entire URL with parameters?
Yes! Paste the full URL with encoded query parameters and the tool decodes all percent-encoded characters. This is useful for reading complex URLs from logs, analytics tools, or API responses.
