Turn a percent-encoded URL back into readable text. Your file never leaves this page. Everything happens in your browser, and there is no upload endpoint to send it to — that is checked by a build gate that fails if any network code reaches a tool’s bundle.
How to do it
- Paste the encoded URL or value.
- Read the decoded version.
- Press Copy.
Questions
Why does it refuse my text?
A lone % that is not followed by two hexadecimal digits is not valid percent-encoding. If you meant a literal percent sign, it should be written %25.
What are the + signs in my URL?
In a query string, + historically means a space. This page decodes strict percent-encoding and leaves + alone, because in a path segment it really is a plus sign.
Is my URL sent anywhere?
No. It is decoded in your browser.
