Why are URLs Encoded?
URLs can only contain a specific set of safe characters from the RFC 3986 specification. Any characters outside this set (like spaces, non-ASCII symbols, brackets, or ampersands within parameter keys) must be translated into a safe percent-encoded format (e.g. spaces become `%20`) to prevent parsing errors on web servers.
This tool performs this conversion locally in your browser using standard JavaScript, which means your text remains private and is never transmitted over the network.
