How it works

How to use the URL Decoder tool

  1. 1

    Paste the encoded text

    A full URL or just a parameter.

  2. 2

    Decode

    Readable text appears instantly.

  3. 3

    Copy

    Use it anywhere.

Reading tracking links

Marketing and redirect links often hide the real destination in an encoded parameter. Decoding shows you where a link actually goes before you click.

Limitations

We’d rather be upfront about what this tool can’t do yet:

  • Malformed sequences (a % not followed by two hex digits) are reported as errors.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded, stored or logged.

What does “treat + as a space” mean?

HTML forms encode spaces as +. Switch it off if your text contains literal plus signs.
