Encode the URL.
Keep it readable.

Encode query values, encode a complete URI, or decode percent-escaped text locally with the browser's native URL functions.

Operation

Input

Output

Use component encoding for individual query values. Full URI encoding keeps URL separators such as :, /, and ? readable where possible.

QUICK ANSWERS

What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?

encodeURI is intended for a complete URI and preserves structural separators. encodeURIComponent is intended for one value such as a query parameter.

Why did decoding fail?

The input may contain a stray percent sign or an incomplete escape sequence. Copy the encoded value exactly and try again.
