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
