About this tool
A full URI and a query parameter need different escaping rules. URI mode preserves structural separators such as : / ? and &, while component mode escapes characters that could change URL structure. Decoding malformed percent sequences reports an error rather than guessing the intended text.
How to use it
- Select component mode for a single parameter value or URI mode for a complete address.
- Choose encode or decode and paste the input.
- Convert and copy the result; encode each parameter independently when constructing a query string.
Example
In component mode, a&b=c becomes a%26b%3Dc, so the ampersand remains part of the value.
