About URL Decoder
URL decoding, also known as percent-decoding, is the process of converting percent-encoded characters back to their original form. This tool decodes URL-encoded strings, converting percent-encoded sequences (like %20) back to their corresponding characters.
URL decoding is essential for processing and understanding URLs that contain special characters, spaces, or non-ASCII characters that have been encoded for safe transmission over the Internet. It reverses the encoding process where unsafe ASCII characters are replaced with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.
Common Uses:
- Decoding query parameters from URLs
- Processing form submissions
- Analyzing and debugging web requests
- Reading encoded data from APIs
- Extracting information from complex URLs
- Viewing the original content of encoded URLs
- Processing received URLs in web applications
- Converting encoded URLs to human-readable format
