Common Encoded Characters

  • Space - Encoded as %20 or +
  • ! - Encoded as %21
  • # - Encoded as %23
  • $ - Encoded as %24
  • & - Encoded as %26
  • = - Encoded as %3D
  • ? - Encoded as %3F
  • @ - Encoded as %40

Use Cases

  • Query Parameters - Encode parameters in URL query strings
  • API Requests - Properly format URLs for API calls
  • Sharing URLs - Encode URLs for email or social media sharing
  • Form Submissions - Encode form data for GET requests
  • SEO-Friendly URLs - Create clean, encoded URLs

Examples

Original: https://example.com/search?q=hello world&lang=en

Encoded: https://example.com/search?q=hello%20world&lang=en

All encoding and decoding is performed client-side in your browser for privacy and security.
