URL Encoder
Percent-encode text for safe URLs using encodeURIComponent or encodeURI.
Use the encodeURIComponent result when you need to safely encode a query value, form field, or any single URL segment. Use the encodeURI result when you are working with a full address and want to preserve separators such as slashes, question marks, and hashes. The decoded preview helps you spot input that already contains percent-encoded text before you copy or download anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I use this app?
- Enter or paste the required input, review the encoded results, and copy or download the output you need. Use Clear to start over.
- Is this app free to use?
- Yes. The app is free to use and does not require an account.
- What happens to my input data?
- The app does not store the text you enter. Encoding runs locally in your browser, so your input is not uploaded by this tool.
- Why am I getting an unexpected result?
- Most issues come from choosing the wrong encoding output or re-encoding text that already contains percent-encoded sequences. Review the decoded preview and try again with the right result block.
- Where can I find instructions and troubleshooting tips?
- Use the in-app Help panel. It explains which output to use, common mistakes, and how to copy or download your result.
