About URL Encoding
- URL encoding converts characters to a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by hexadecimal digits.
- Spaces are converted to plus signs (+) or %20, depending on the implementation.
- URL encoding is used when placing text in a query string to avoid it being interpreted as URL syntax.
- Common uses include encoding form data, creating query parameters, and ensuring URLs are valid across all systems.
- All encoding and decoding is performed in your browser - your data never leaves your device.
