URL Decoder
What is URL encoding?
URL encoding (percent-encoding, RFC 3986) replaces characters that are unsafe in a URL with %XX byte sequences, e.g. a space becomes %20 and “é” becomes %C3%A9. It is required for query-string values and path segments.
UTF-8 handling
Text is converted to UTF-8 bytes before encoding, so accented letters, CJK characters and emoji round-trip correctly.

Frequently asked questions
Is URL encryption?
No. URL is a reversible encoding, not encryption — anyone can encode it. Never use it to protect secrets.
Is my input sent anywhere?
No. Encoding and decoding happen locally in your browser.
