Encode URLs to make them web-safe or decode encoded URLs back to readable text. Perfect for handling special characters in URLs.
URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the internet. Special characters are replaced with percent signs followed by hexadecimal numbers (e.g., space becomes %20).
You need URL encoding when your URLs contain spaces, special characters, or non-ASCII characters. This ensures the URL works correctly in web browsers and HTTP requests.
Characters like spaces, &, ?, #, %, +, and non-ASCII characters get encoded. Safe characters like letters, numbers, and some symbols (-_.) remain unchanged.
