What is URL Decoding?

URL Decoding reverses percent-encoded strings back to human-readable plain text, converting sequences like '%20' or '+' back to spaces and '%XX' hexadecimal sequences into their original UTF-8 characters.

It is indispensable when inspecting incoming HTTP query parameters, parsing web server logs, and debugging API payloads containing multilingual strings.

Our decoder strictly handles full UTF-8 multi-byte reconstruction so non-Latin alphabets and emojis restore with 100% fidelity.

How to Use

  1. Paste the percent-encoded URL or query parameter into the input area.
  2. The decoded plain text is produced automatically in real time.
  3. Click 'Copy' to store the decoded text in your clipboard.
  4. Click 'Sample' to quickly test with a sample encoded URL.

FAQ

Does this tool convert '+' into a space?
