Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to encode URLs?
URLs can only contain a limited set of characters. Encoding ensures that special characters (like spaces, &, ?) are transmitted correctly over the internet.
What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?
This tool uses encodeURIComponent, which encodes special characters including those with special meaning in URLs (like / and :). This is safer for encoding query parameters.
Is my data sent to a server?
No, all encoding and decoding happens instantly in your browser using JavaScript.
