How to Decode URLs

Transform obfuscated URLs, query string keys, and percent triplets into clear readable uniform addresses in three steps.

1

Paste Encoded String

Input percent-escaped URLs or parameter query strings directly into the editor. Spaces, special symbols, and Unicode tokens will be highlighted.

%20 → Space, %2F → /
2

Choose Decoding Standard

Select decodeURIComponent for complete parameter parsing, or standard decodeURI if preserving scheme dividers is required.

Preserve or flatten protocol slashes
3

Copy Decoded Result

Instantly obtain the decoded plaintext string. One-click copy directly into your clipboard, inspect path fragments, or launch in a browser tab.

HOW TO USE

Read percent-encoded URLs

Paste encoded text and decode it. Use plus-as-space only for form-style query encoding.

Example

a%20 b%26 c becomes a b&c.

Before you use the result

Malformed percent sequences may produce an error. Opening a decoded URL leaves this site, so inspect the destination first.
