About this tool
This page opens the tool in URL decoding mode — paste an encoded link or query string and see the human-readable version instantly.
URL decoding reverses percent-encoding: %20 becomes a space and multi-byte sequences become the original Unicode letters — essential for inspecting tracking links, redirects and logged query parameters.
The full tool also encodes URLs and handles HTML entities in both directions — everything runs locally in your browser and no link you paste is sent anywhere.
Example. URL encode turns a b into a%20b. HTML encode turns a<b> into a<b> and a/b into a/b. A broken percent escape in URL decode is written as Error: plus the decoder message.
Limit. URL encode is encodeURIComponent of the whole box, not encodeURI. HTML encode only maps & < > " ' and /. The parameter grid is shown only while encoding a URL that has a query.
