About URL Encoding
What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). It converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet.
Encoded: Hello%20World%21
When to Use Encoding
You should encode URLs when they contain:
- Spaces (converted to %20)
- Special characters like !, ?, &, =
- Non-ASCII characters
- Query parameters with reserved characters
Encoding Standards
Our tool follows RFC 3986 standards for URI encoding. Reserved characters are encoded as follows:
! → %21
# → %23
$ → %24
& → %26
