URL Encoder / Decoder
Encode and decode URLs, query strings, and parameter values safely in your browser.
What Is URL Encoding and When Should You Use It?
Use this URL encoder and decoder when building links, debugging query strings, cleaning copied URLs, or preparing parameter values for APIs and redirects. Choose Full URL mode to preserve separators such as slashes, question marks, and ampersands, or Parameter Value mode when you need to encode a single query value safely. The tool also decodes percent-encoded text back into readable form. All conversion happens locally in your browser, so links and parameters you paste are not sent to Ficita.

Prepare API request parameters
Encode values before adding them to GET requests, webhook URLs, OAuth redirects, or search links that require valid URL characters.
