About URL Encoding

URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.

Common URL Encoded Characters:

  • Space → %20
  • ! → %21
  • " → %22
  • # → %23
  • $ → %24
  • % → %25
  • & → %26
  • ' → %27
  • ( → %28
  • ) → %29

Common Uses:

  • URL parameters and query strings
  • Form data submission
  • API requests
  • File paths with special characters
  • Email links and web addresses
