Free Online URL Decode
URL Decode converts percent-encoded strings back into human-readable text. When browsers and servers transmit data through URLs, special characters like spaces, ampersands, and equals signs are replaced with percent codes (%20, %26, %3D). This tool reverses that process instantly, turning encoded URLs and query strings into plain text you can actually read and work with. Paste your encoded string, and the decoded result appears automatically. You can also upload text files if you have large chunks of encoded content that need batch processing.
URL Decode
Convert percent-encoded characters back to readable text. Handles %20, %3D, %26, UTF-8 sequences, and full URL strings.
URL Encode
Encode plain text for safe URL use. Converts special characters to percent-encoded format using encodeURIComponent.
URL Parse
Break down a URL into protocol, hostname, port, path, query parameters, and hash fragment in a structured view.
URL Slug
Generate clean, SEO-friendly slugs from any text. Normalizes accents, removes special characters, and lowercases everything.
Base64 URL
Decode or encode URL-safe Base64 strings. Auto-detects direction and handles the - and _ character replacements.
Double Decode
Decode strings that were accidentally percent-encoded twice. Catches sequences like %2520 that single decoding misses.
Online URL Decode with Six Built-in URL Utilities
You get more than just a decoder; this workspace packs five extra URL utilities into one simple interface. Use the toolbar or sidebar to switch between URL Decode, Encode, Parse, Slug, Base64, and Double Decode modes. Every mode gives you a fresh workspace, and auto-processing means you'll see results as soon as you start typing. You can also upload text files, paste from your clipboard, or drag and drop files directly into the input area.
Decode Percent-Encoded URLs Instantly
Our default URL Decode tool follows standard RFC 3986 rules to handle your percent-encoded strings accurately. It converts sequences like %20 into spaces and correctly decodes multi-byte UTF-8 characters like %C3%A9. Results update instantly as you type, and you can use the swap button to feed decoded text back into the tool for more processing.
Encode Text for Safe URL Construction
URL Encode mode runs encodeURIComponent on your text to swap special characters for their safe, percent-encoded versions. This step is a must when building query strings or API requests where symbols like & or = might break the URL structure. Unreserved characters like letters and numbers stay untouched, while everything else is safely encoded.
URL Parsing, Slugs, and Base64 URL Tools
URL Parse mode takes a full web address and splits it into clear parts like the protocol, hostname, path, and query string. Each query parameter is extracted individually, saving you from manually splitting complex URLs. Switch to URL Slug mode to turn your text into clean, lowercase, hyphenated slugs for SEO-friendly web addresses.
Parse URLs into Structured Components
Paste a full URL like https://example.com:8080/path?key=value&foo=bar#section and see every part laid out in a clear table. All your query parameters are listed separately with their decoded keys and values. This view is a lifesaver for debugging complex API endpoints or checking tracking links packed with analytics data.
Generate SEO-Friendly URL Slugs
Type in any title or phrase, and the slug generator will handle accented characters, strip symbols, and convert spaces to hyphens. A heading like 'My Blog Post: 10 Tips & Tricks!' turns into 'my-blog-post-10-tips-tricks' in an instant. The tool also cleans up the result by collapsing extra hyphens and trimming them from the ends for a polished look.
Base64 URL Encoding and Decoding
Standard Base64 symbols like + and / are swapped for - and _ to keep your strings safe for URLs. Our Base64 URL tool even senses whether you need to encode or decode based on the text you paste. Just drop in a JWT token to decode it or enter plain text to generate a URL-safe Base64 string instantly.
