URL Decoder
What is URL decoding?
URL decoding is the process of translating encoded characters in a URL to their actual representations. When you browse the internet, URLs often include symbols like “%20” for space or “%2F” for a forward slash. Decoding these symbols reveals the intended readable format.
Why URL Decoder Required?
Web applications encode URLs to ensure data integrity and security during transmission. However, for users and developers, understanding the content of encoded URLs becomes important. This is particularly relevant when sharing links, debugging, or analyzing web interactions.
How Does the URL Decoder Work?
- Input URL: Paste the encoded URL into the URL Decoder tool.
- Decode: Click on the “Decode” button to initiate the decoding process..
- Result: The tool will display the decoded URL, making special characters readable.
URL Decode Example
