URL Decoder
Decode percent-encoded URLs and query strings back to their original readable form.
About URL Decoder
The URL decoder converts percent-encoded strings back to readable text, restoring spaces, ampersands, and special characters.
When you inspect a browser URL, server log, or API response, values often appear encoded as %20 and %26. Decoding reveals the true content so you can read, debug, or further process it.
When to Use URL Decoder
Use it to read what a URL parameter actually means, to restore a search string from a tracking link, or to reverse encoded input before processing.
Pro Tip
Decode each value separately — if you decode a whole URL at once and it contains %2F for slashes, path structure may appear where you expect a single value.
