URL Encoder

Percent-encode and decode text for use in URLs.

Encode

Decode

Mode

Which mode to pick

Use Component when the text becomes part of a URL: a query value, path segment, or fragment.

?q=hello%20world%26more

Use Whole URI when the text is a full URL. The structural characters : / ? & # = stay untouched.

If you encode a query value with Whole URI, the & inside it won't be escaped and will break the query string.

Component

encodeURIComponent escapes everything but unreserved chars. Use for query values & path segments.

Whole URI

encodeURI leaves URL structure (: / ? & # =) intact. Use for full URLs.
