Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about URL encoding

What is URL encoding and why do I need it?

URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. It's essential for embedding text in URLs, query parameters, and form data.

Which characters get encoded?

Special characters like spaces, ampersands (&), question marks (?), hash symbols (#), and non-ASCII characters are encoded into percent-encoded format (%20, %26, etc.).

Is this the same as percent encoding?

Yes, URL encoding is also known as percent encoding because special characters are converted to % followed by their hexadecimal ASCII values.

Can I encode entire URLs or just query parameters?

This tool can encode any text, including full URLs, query parameters, or individual text strings that will be used in URLs.

How is this different from Base64 encoding?

URL encoding is specifically designed for URLs and only encodes special characters, while Base64 encoding converts all text into a different character set for data transmission.
