Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Encode Component and Encode Full URL?▾
Encode Component (encodeURIComponent) encodes all special characters including /, ?, &, and =. Encode Full URL (encodeURI) preserves the URL structure by leaving those characters intact, only encoding unsafe characters like spaces and unicode.
When should I use URL encoding?▾
Use URL encoding when passing user input as query parameters, embedding special characters in URLs, or transmitting data that contains reserved URL characters like &, =, or spaces.
Does this tool support Unicode and special characters?▾
Yes. This tool fully supports Unicode text including emojis, accented characters, and non-Latin scripts. Characters are encoded using standard UTF-8 percent-encoding.
Is my data safe when using this URL encoder?▾
Yes. All encoding and decoding happens entirely in your browser. No data is ever sent to a server.
