URL Decode

About This Tool

So, you’ve got a URL that looks like it’s been through a blender—full of %20s, %3F marks, and other weird symbols. That’s URL encoding for you. It’s how browsers and servers safely pass data around without things breaking. But when you need to actually *read* what’s in there, you need to decode it. That’s where URL Decode comes in. It’s a simple tool that takes that jumbled mess and turns it back into plain, readable text. Think of it like translating a secret code back into English. You paste in the encoded string, hit decode, and—bam—you get the original URL or parameter, clean and clear. It’s not magic. It’s just reversing what the browser did when it sent the data. Useful when debugging, checking redirects, or just trying to figure out what that long link actually does.

Key Features

• Fast and straightforward—paste, decode, done.
• Handles all standard URL-encoded characters (%20 for space, %3A for colon, etc.).
• Works in your browser—no data sent to a server, so it’s private.
• Supports both full URLs and individual query parameters.
• No sign-up, no ads, no nonsense.

FAQ

Why would I need to decode a URL?
Maybe you’re debugging a web app and see a redirect URL full of % symbols. Or you copied a link from an email and it’s unreadable. Decoding helps you understand what’s really being passed—like form data, tracking IDs, or page paths.

Is it safe to use?
Yes, as long as you’re using a tool that runs in your browser. The decoding happens locally, so your data never leaves your device. Just avoid pasting sensitive info like passwords or tokens unless you trust the site completely.
