URL Decode
Turn encoded URLs back into clean, readable text
URL Decoder
What is URL Decoder?
The URL Decoder converts percent-encoded strings back into readable text. It restores spaces and symbols so you can read and reuse parameters or full URLs.
Importance of URL Decoder
Encoded URLs are hard to read and edit. Decoding helps you inspect parameters, fix issues, and reuse values in reports, code, or forms.
Why Should You Use URL Decoder?
- Readable data - See the original text behind encoded values.
- Fast debugging - Inspect query strings and webhooks easily.
- Accurate edits - Modify parameters without guesswork.
- Better workflow - Move data between tools without errors.
How to Use URL Decoder
- Paste your encoded text - Enter the percent-encoded string or URL.
- Click Decode - Convert it back to standard text and symbols.
- Copy the result - Use the copy button to reuse the decoded value.
- Use Sample or Reset - Load a sample to test, or clear the field to start fresh.
Tips:
- If you plan to send the value again in a URL, re-encode it with the URL Encoder.
- Decode only once. Double-decoding can corrupt data.
Use Case Example
A support engineer receives a long encoded callback URL from a webhook. They decode it to read the payload parameters, then pinpoint an issue with a value.
