What Is URL Decoding?
URL decoding is the reverse of URL encoding: it converts percent-encoded sequences like %20 back into the characters they represent (in this case, a space). You'll commonly encounter encoded strings in query parameters, redirect URLs, and API responses.
Common Uses
- Reading query string values copied from a browser's address bar
- Debugging encoded URLs in server logs or API calls
- Extracting readable text from encoded redirect parameters
How to Use This Tool
- Paste your percent-encoded string into the input field.
- Click URL Decode.
- Copy the decoded result with the copy button.
If the input contains an invalid percent-encoded sequence, an error message will be shown.
