LOCAL URL TOOL

URL Encoder

Percent-encode text locally in your browser.

HOW TO USE IT

Percent-encode text for use in URLs

Characters such as spaces, punctuation and non-ASCII text often need encoding when they are placed inside URL components. This tool converts the supplied text into its percent-encoded representation.

Encoding uses the browser’s standard URI component behavior and happens locally. It is intended for individual URL values and text rather than blindly transforming an entire already-structured URL.

Quick steps

  1. 1. Paste the text or component value you need to encode.
  2. 2. Choose Encode.
  3. 3. Copy the percent-encoded result.

Common questions

What is percent encoding?

Percent encoding represents characters using % followed by hexadecimal byte values where URL syntax requires it.

Does the tool upload my text?

No. Encoding occurs locally in your browser.

Should I encode an entire complete URL?

Usually you encode individual components or values rather than encoding the separators that give a URL its structure.
