URL Encoder & Decoder

Percent-encode a string for safe use in a URL, or decode one you have been handed: query parameters, path segments and full URLs, with the difference between component and full-URL encoding made explicit.

Watch explai answer one real business question

A recording of the product itself. At the top, the question someone types in: roll a promotion that grew revenue 12% out across all European stores. Below it, explai's answer: it checks that claim against the real sales data, shows every reasoning step, and comes back with a chart and a clear recommendation against the rollout. Under 10 seconds, starts by itself, nothing to click.

That was one question, on our data. In measured deployments teams save about three hours per person a day, and a week of repeatable analysis comes back in roughly five minutes. A private sandbox is waiting for your data: upload a CSV and ask your first question in a few minutes.

FAQ

Questions people ask about this tool

What is URL encoding?

URL encoding, or percent-encoding, replaces characters that have a special meaning in a URL (spaces, &, ?, #, / and non-ASCII characters) with a % followed by their byte value, so the URL survives being passed around intact.

When do I encode the whole URL and when just one parameter?

Encode a single query value with component encoding, which also escapes &, =, ? and /. Encoding a whole URL that way would break it, so use full-URL encoding, which leaves the structural characters alone.

Why does a space become %20 sometimes and + other times?

%20 is correct percent-encoding everywhere. A + means a space only in application/x-www-form-urlencoded data, HTML form submissions and query strings that follow that convention, and is a literal plus sign anywhere else.
