What is the URL Encode?
Percent-encode text for safe use in URLs and query strings. Everyday utilities for developers — encoders, formatters, hashes and generators — that run locally in your browser with standard Web APIs. No data is sent to any server.
How to use the URL Encode
- Paste or type your your text into the box (a sample is pre-filled so you can see how it works).
- Results update automatically as you type; you can also press Calculate.
- Read the output: result.
- Use the 📊 chart to see the result visually, then copy or share it.
Tips for better results
- Hashes use the Web Crypto API and match command-line tools such as sha256sum.
- Never paste production secrets into any website — even client-side tools.
- Use JSON Validator before JSON Formatter to see precise error positions.
