URL Decode

Free Online URL Decode Tool

What is URL Decoding?

URL decoding is the process of converting percent-encoded characters (like %20, %3A, %2F) back to their original symbols (such as spaces, colons, and slashes). This is essential when reading query strings, redirect URLs, or encoded data passed through web forms or APIs.

Example

Encoded:

https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fquery%3Fq%3Dtest

Decoded:

https://example.com/query?q=test
