Frequently Asked Questions
Why do URLs need encoding?
URLs can only contain characters from the US-ASCII character set. Characters like spaces, ampersands, or question marks must be percent-encoded if they are part of data parameters.
What is percent-encoding?
Percent-encoding is a mechanism to encode arbitrary data in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) using ASCII characters.
Is my input safe?
Yes, encoding and decoding are computed locally in your browser. Your URLs are never tracked or saved.
