How to Use:

Paste your text into the input box on the left. The tool automatically encodes characters like spaces, ampersands, and question marks into their percent-encoded equivalents using encodeURIComponent. The output is updated live in the right-hand box. You can also import text files like .txt or .html, and use the export or copy buttons to save the result. The character count updates in real time.

What the URL-encode Text Tool can do:

This tool encodes unsafe characters for use in URLs. It ensures that query parameters, fragments, and dynamic values in URLs are safely interpreted by web browsers. It supports instant, client-side encoding with no page reload.

Example:

Before:

https://example.com/search?q=hello world&lang=en

After:

https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dhello%20world%26lang%3Den

Common Use Cases:

Ideal for developers formatting query strings, users copying clean links, or content creators embedding links into HTML or JavaScript. Useful when handling user input, search parameters, or URLs with special symbols.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re URL-encoding, it’s smart to use Remove Spaces from Text first to avoid unexpected breaks. And when you need to reverse it later, URL-decode Text gets things back to normal fast.
