ℹ️ URL Encoding Information

🔒 What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. Special characters are replaced with a percent sign followed by two hexadecimal digits.

🎯 When to Use

Use URL encoding when URLs contain special characters, spaces, or non-ASCII characters that need to be safely transmitted in web requests.

⚡ Common Characters

Space → %20, & → %26, ? → %3F, # → %23, + → %2B, = → %3D, % → %25

🌐 Unicode Support

Our tool supports full Unicode encoding/decoding, allowing you to work with international characters and emojis in URLs.
