QUICK START

Try this when a piece of a web address contains sequences such as %20 instead of spaces.

  1. Paste the encoded part of the address.
  2. Select Convert to decode it once.
  3. Read or copy the result; the tool will not open the link.

A plus sign stays a plus sign. Decoding a link does not tell you whether its destination is safe.

How it works

Decode exactly once

Percent escapes are decoded once using UTF-8. A plus sign remains a plus sign; this is not form-urlencoded conversion. Malformed escapes or invalid UTF-8 produce an error.

Double-decoding can change the meaning of data. Review the result as text before using it elsewhere. The tool never follows decoded addresses.
