Frequently asked questions
Is URL encoding and decoding free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how often you use it.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Every conversion runs in your browser, on your own device. Your file is never sent to a server or stored anywhere but your device.
When do I need this?
Any time text with spaces, &, =, or other special characters needs to go inside a URL query string -- e.g. building a link or reading one apart.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes -- it works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet, or desktop, with no app to install.
