A URL converter encodes and decodes page addresses. It transforms characters that are not allowed in URLs (for example, spaces, Cyrillic letters, and special symbols) into a safe format understood by browsers and servers. This process is called URL encoding and is required to transmit web addresses without errors. Incorrectly encoded URLs can cause 404 errors as well as indexing and ranking problems.
Our tool instantly encodes (Encode) or decodes (Decode) any URL. Encoding replaces forbidden characters with their percent equivalents (for example, a space becomes %20), which is important when creating dynamic URLs with parameters. Decoding, in turn, returns the encoded URL to a readable form. It is an indispensable assistant for developers and SEOs to avoid addressability problems and ensure links work correctly.
