Frequently asked questions
When do I need to encode a URL?
Whenever a URL contains spaces or special characters — like in query parameters — encoding keeps it valid for browsers and servers.
What's the difference from Base64?
URL encoding replaces unsafe characters with percent-codes for use in URLs; Base64 is a general binary-to-text encoding used well beyond URLs.
Does this handle full URLs or just parameters?
It encodes/decodes any string you paste — for a full URL, typically only the query parameter values need encoding, not the whole address.
