URL Encoder

URL Encode Online — Free

Convert text into a URL-safe format instantly — spaces, symbols, and special characters properly escaped so they won't break a link.

How to URL Encode Text

Type or paste your text and the URL-encoded version appears instantly, ready to copy into a query string, link, or API request.

Why URL Encoding Matters

URLs can only safely contain a limited set of characters — spaces, ampersands, question marks, and plenty of others have special meaning or simply aren't allowed as-is. URL encoding replaces those characters with a percent sign followed by their code, like turning a space into %20, so a value can travel safely inside a URL without accidentally breaking it or being misread as part of its structure.

Good Uses for This Tool

Encoding a search query or parameter before adding it to a URL, safely including special characters in a link, preparing a value for an API request's query string, or fixing a broken link caused by un-encoded spaces or symbols.

Is It Actually Private?

Yes. Encoding happens entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is sent to a server.
