URL Parser

This tool breaks down a URL into its individual components so you can understand exactly what’s in it. Paste a URL or import a file and it will instantly extract the protocol, host, port, path, query string, and even all query parameters if present. You can choose whether to decode values, display parameters, and trim the result. Everything updates live with no reloads, making it easy to inspect URLs and debug quickly.

  2. Or, click Choose File to load a .txt, .md, .json, or .html file containing the URL.
  3. Use the toggles in the Options box to configure behavior:
    • Show query parameters: Displays each parameter on its own line.
    • Decode components: Decodes percent-encoded strings like %20.
    • Trim whitespace: Cleans up leading and trailing spaces in output.
  4. The right panel updates instantly, showing you a structured breakdown of the URL.
  5. Click Copy Output to copy it or Export to File to save it.

What the URL Parser Tool can do:

It parses any valid URL and pulls out each part so you can analyze it piece by piece. You’ll see the protocol (https:), host (example.com), pathname (/search), query string (?q=test&lang=en), and fragment if there’s one. If toggled on, query parameters are listed line-by-line for easy inspection. This helps with debugging, scraping, or just understanding complex URL structures.

Example:

Input:

https://example.com/search?q=tools&lang=en#top

Output:

Protocol: https:
Host: example.com
Hostname: example.com
Port: (none)
Pathname: /search
Search: ?q=tools&lang=en
Hash: #top

Query Parameters:
  q: tools
  lang: en

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool to debug long or complex URLs, inspect what’s being passed to an API, or break down tracking links into readable pieces. It’s also great for extracting and decoding parameters from query strings quickly during development or content analysis. Whether you’re inspecting URLs manually or copying parts for reuse, this tool makes the job easier.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re working with links and need to handle encoding, URL Encoder lets you safely format special characters for use in query strings or paths. And when you’re reading back those values, URL Decoder helps restore them into clean, human-readable URLs great for debugging or building routing logic.
