About URL Encoder / Decoder
What does the URL Encoder Decoder Tool do?
Because only certain characters can be used in a URL, the URL encoder decoder tool will convert the non-allowed characters into a string that can be read an interpreted by servers. To use this tool, just enter the text you need to encode and the software will automatically convert it to what you need. Conversely, you can take a string of encoded text and decode it into what it should originally be. BuildTraffic's URL Encoder/Decoder tool is just paste and click and done!
Why is this important?
URL standards allow for only certain types of characters beyond the basic alphanumeric, using the ASCII character-set. In order to have other characters in a URL, you will need to encode your URL so it is internet friendly. It is also useful to decode, for example to turn encoded JavaScript URL with a barely readable text to a more readable text. A URL that contains a non-alpha numeric letter or character that will be encoded into “%” (percent symbol), followed by two hexadecimal digits. URL encoding replaces a space with either a plus sign (+) or with %20. It is always important to check the URL for usability after you have encoded it.
If you want to understand what an already encoded URL actually means, you can use the decoder to understand those encoded special characters. It is so easy - just copy the long encoded URL and paste it into our free tool and with a click, you get what the URL is intending to state.
