Encoded input
Output

Result appears here after you select

{ } How to use

  1. Paste the percent-encoded text.
  2. Select Process to read the original value.

{ } How it works

URL Decode works on the text you provide. Select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.

Input

  • Encoded input — paste or type your input in the left panel (use Sample for an example)

Output

TXT text — copy or download it from the Output panel.

{ } Common uses

  • Read a query-string parameter that arrived encoded.
  • Work out what a long redirect URL actually points at.
  • Check that a link was encoded the way you expected.

{ } Limitations

  • A + stays a plus sign rather than becoming a space: that convention belongs to form encoding, not to URLs in general.
  • A lone % or an incomplete escape such as %2 is reported as an error rather than passed through.

{ } FAQ

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.

Can I process more than one file at once?

This tool works on one input at a time.

Is this tool free?

Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.

Can I decode a whole URL at once?

Yes, and that is usually what you want when inspecting one. Just do not reuse the decoded string as a URL — the escapes were there for a reason.
