FAQ
What is URL Encoding?
URL Encoding (or percent-encoding) is a method to convert special characters into a format that can be transmitted in URLs. Characters like spaces, accents, and symbols are replaced with %XX codes.
When should I use URL Encoding?
Use URL Encoding when you need to pass parameters in URLs containing special characters, spaces, or accents. For example, when building query strings or sending data via GET.
What's the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?
encodeURI encodes a complete URL, preserving characters like : / ? & =. encodeURIComponent encodes ALL special characters, ideal for parameter values. This tool uses encodeURIComponent.
