What is a URL Encoder?

A URL Encoder is a tool that converts a string of text into a URL-safe format. It replaces reserved or non-ASCII characters with a `%` followed by two hexadecimal digits, a process known as percent-encoding. This ensures that the data can be correctly transmitted and interpreted as part of a URL.

Why Use Our URL Encoder?

  • Web Forms: To safely transmit data from web forms that may contain spaces or special characters.
  • API Requests: To correctly format parameters in a URL's query string when making API calls.
  • Data Integrity: To ensure that data is not misinterpreted or corrupted when it is included in a URL.
  • Compatibility: To create URLs that are compliant with the standards and will work correctly in all browsers and web servers.
