Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?
encodeURI encodes a complete URL and skips characters like /, :, ?, while encodeURIComponent encodes everything including those characters. Use encodeURIComponent for query string values.
Is this tool safe for sensitive data?
Yes, all processing is 100% client-side in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
What does '%20' mean in a URL?
%20 is the percent-encoded representation of a space character. In form encoding, + is used for spaces instead.
Does it support Unicode characters?
Yes, Unicode characters like Hindi, Arabic or Chinese text are properly encoded to their UTF-8 percent-encoded sequences.
Is it really free?
Completely free with no limits, no sign-up, and no watermarks.
