About the URL Encode
URLs may only contain a limited set of characters; spaces, ampersands, slashes and Unicode must be percent-encoded to travel safely. This tool applies encodeURIComponent semantics so each reserved or non-ASCII character is escaped correctly.
Encoding is local and instant. Use it to build query parameters, encode redirect targets, or escape user input before putting it in a link.
