URL Decode Online — Free

How to URL Decode Text

Paste your encoded text — the kind full of %20s and similar percent-codes — and the readable, decoded version appears immediately.

What You're Actually Undoing

URL encoding replaces characters that aren't safe inside a URL — spaces, symbols, and more — with a percent sign followed by a code representing that character. Decoding simply reverses the process, turning those percent-codes back into the original readable characters so you can see exactly what a link or query parameter actually contains.

Good Uses for This Tool

Reading what a long, encoded query parameter actually says, decoding a link before pasting it somewhere else, checking the real value hidden inside an encoded URL, or reversing an encoding step while debugging an API request.

Is It Actually Private?

Yes. Decoding happens entirely in your browser — nothing you paste is sent to a server.
