LOCAL URL TOOL

URL Decoder

Decode percent-encoded text locally in your browser.

HOW TO USE IT

Convert percent-encoded text back to readable form

Encoded URL values can be difficult to read when spaces, symbols or international characters are represented by percent sequences. The decoder converts valid encoded input back to human-readable text.

Decoding is performed locally in the browser. Invalid percent sequences are reported rather than silently producing misleading output.

Quick steps

  1. 1. Paste the percent-encoded value.
  2. 2. Choose Decode.
  3. 3. Review and copy the decoded text.

Common questions

What does %20 represent?

In percent-encoded text, %20 commonly represents a space character.

Why can decoding fail?

Malformed or incomplete percent sequences are not valid encoded input and may cause decoding to fail.

Is my submitted value sent to an API?

No. The decoding operation is local to your browser.
