Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for developers landing here from search.
When should I URL encode text?
Encode characters whenever they appear outside the safe URL set—such as spaces, ampersands, or Unicode—in query strings and path segments.
What does the plus-space option do?
It converts spaces to plus signs, matching application/x-www-form-urlencoded behavior commonly used by HTML forms.
Can I decode values that contain plus signs?
Yes. Enable the plus-space toggle before decoding and the tool will treat + symbols as spaces before running decodeURI components.
