Network utilities, URL converters, and IP tools.

About Internet

Free online internet and networking tools for developers, webmasters, and everyday users. Encode and decode URLs, work with URL parameters, and prepare data for safe use in web applications and APIs. These tools run directly in your browser and are designed to make common web development and networking tasks faster and easier. URL encoding and decoding follows standard web encoding rules so special characters, spaces, Unicode text, and query parameters can be handled correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

URL encoding, also called percent-encoding, converts characters in a URL into a format that can be safely transmitted and interpreted by web browsers and servers. Characters that need encoding are represented using a percent sign followed by hexadecimal values.
No. The tools work directly in your web browser, so you do not need to install additional software or browser extensions.
URLs contain characters with special meanings, and some characters cannot be used safely in every part of a URL. URL encoding allows spaces, symbols, Unicode characters, and other reserved characters to be represented in a way that web servers can correctly interpret.
The URL encoding process itself can be performed locally in your browser, so the URL does not need to be uploaded to a server for encoding. However, avoid sharing sensitive URLs with any online service unless you have verified how that service handles your data.
Yes. A URL decoder can decode standard percent-encoded data regardless of which application or website originally encoded it.
Yes. Modern URL encoding supports UTF-8 text, allowing international characters, emojis, symbols, and other Unicode content to be encoded and decoded correctly.
