URL Decoder – Decode URL-Encoded Text into Readable Format

Our URL Decoder is a simple, fast, and free tool designed to decode percent-encoded (URL-encoded) text back into its original, readable form. When data is passed through URLs, characters such as spaces, symbols, and non-alphanumeric characters are encoded using percent encoding. With our tool, you can easily decode any URL-encoded string back to its original format, making it readable and usable again.

Whether you’re working with web forms, APIs, or dealing with URL-encoded query parameters, this tool is perfect for quickly and accurately decoding any encoded URLs or text. It’s ideal for web developers, SEO specialists, and anyone dealing with encoded data and URLs in their work.

Why Use a URL Decoder?

🔹 Readability – Easily convert encoded URLs or text into a human-readable format.
🔹 Fix URL Encoding Issues – Decode URLs that have been incorrectly encoded, ensuring they function properly in browsers.
🔹 Verify URL Parameters – Check and decode query parameters to verify that they’ve been encoded correctly.
🔹 Inspect API Responses – Decode URL-encoded data returned from APIs to see the original content.
🔹 Support for Special Characters – Convert URL-encoded special characters back to their intended meaning, such as spaces and punctuation.

How to Use the URL Decoder?

1️⃣ Paste the Encoded Text – Enter the URL-encoded string that you need to decode into the tool.
2️⃣ Click "Decode" – Hit the "Decode" button to instantly convert the encoded text back into its original form.
3️⃣ Copy the Decoded Text – Once decoded, you can easily copy and use the decoded URL or text wherever you need it.

What is URL Decoding?

URL decoding is the reverse process of URL encoding. In URL encoding, special characters like spaces, slashes, and other symbols are replaced with their corresponding ASCII values (percent-encoded format). URL decoding restores these encoded characters to their original form. For example:

  • %20 → Space ( )
  • %26 → Ampersand (&)
  • %3F → Question mark (?)

By decoding URL-encoded data, you can ensure that URLs are readable, usable, and correctly interpreted by web browsers or servers.
