What is the URL Encoder?
Web addresses can't contain spaces or certain symbols, so they're written as percent codes like %20. Encode text to put it safely in a URL, or decode a messy link to read it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the two encode options?
By default every special character is encoded (right for a single parameter). The other option keeps a full address readable by leaving characters like / and ? alone.
