URLs can only be sent over the internet using the ASCII character set. If your URL contains characters outside the ASCII set, or special characters like spaces or symbols, they must be converted into a valid format. This is called URL Encoding (or percent-encoding). Our URL Encoder/Decoder does this instantly.
For example, you cannot have a space in a web link. URL encoding replaces a space with %20. This ensures that browsers and servers correctly process the web address without breaking the link.
