URL Parser

About This Tool

So, you’ve got a URL. Maybe it’s long, messy, or just full of weird symbols. You need to know what it actually means—what part is the domain, where the page lives, what those parameters are doing. That’s where a URL parser comes in. It’s not magic, but it feels close. It takes that jumble of text and breaks it down into pieces you can actually use. I’ve used these tools for years—sometimes to debug, sometimes to extract data, sometimes just to figure out why a link isn’t working. Most of the time, you don’t need anything fancy. You just need something that works, fast, without making you jump through hoops. This tool? It’s simple. Paste in a URL, hit go, and it gives you back the parts: protocol, domain, path, query strings, fragments—everything. No ads, no sign-up, no “premium features” locked behind a paywall. Just clean, readable output.

Key Features

• Instant breakdown – Paste a URL and get immediate results. No waiting, no loading screens.
• Handles messy URLs – Works with encoded characters, extra slashes, even malformed ones (as long as they’re close).
• Query string parsing – Splits parameters into key-value pairs so you don’t have to manually scan through ?name=value&foo=bar.
• Port and subdomain detection – Tells you if there’s a non-standard port or a subdomain like “blog.” or “api.”
• Fragment support – Shows the part after the #, which some tools ignore but can be important for single-page apps.
• Copy-friendly output – Each part is clearly labeled and easy to copy if you need to use it elsewhere.
• Works offline – Once loaded, it runs in your browser. No data sent anywhere. Your URLs stay yours.

FAQ

Does it work with international domains (like .中国 or .рф)?
Yes. It handles internationalized domain names (IDNs) and converts them properly if needed. You’ll see the punycode version if that’s how it’s stored, but it also shows the readable form when possible.

Can I use this in my own code?
Not directly—this is a web tool, not a library. But the parsing logic is straightforward, and if you’re coding in JavaScript, the built-in URL object does most of this already. This tool just makes it visual and user-friendly. If you need automation, consider using that URL interface in Node.js or the browser.
