About URL Encoding

URL encoding (also called percent encoding) is a mechanism to encode information in URLs. It's essential for:

Web compatibility - Ensure URLs work across all browsers and systems
Data integrity - Preserve special characters in URL parameters
Security - Prevent URL injection and parsing errors
Standards compliance - Follow RFC 3986 URL specification

Our URL encoder/decoder handles all standard characters and provides instant, accurate results for web development and API integration.
