URL Encoder FAQ
Why do URLs need to be encoded?
URLs can only contain a limited set of ASCII characters. Special characters like spaces, symbols, and non-ASCII characters must be converted into a ‘percent-encoded’ format to be transmitted safely over the internet.
What is the difference between Encode and Decode?
Encoding converts special characters into percent codes (e.g., space becomes %20), while Decoding converts those codes back into their original readable characters.
