URL Decoder

Decode percent-encoded URLs and see the host, path and each query parameter separately.

What is the URL Decoder?

URL decoding converts %XX sequences back to the characters they represent.

How does it work?

The input is decoded as UTF-8. If it is a full URL, it is also parsed to list its parameters.

Example

q=home%20loan decodes to q=home loan.

Frequently asked questions

Is my data sent to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser; nothing you paste is uploaded or stored.

What does “invalid percent-encoded sequence” mean?

A % is not followed by two hex digits, or the bytes do not form valid UTF-8.
