Read long links at a glance
Marketing links, redirect addresses and API calls are often full of %2F, %3D and similar codes. Decoding them shows where a link really goes and what values it carries.
Broken sequences are reported with their position, so you can find a link that was cut or copied incorrectly.
About URL
URL encoding, also called percent encoding, writes characters that are not allowed in a web address as % followed by two hex digits. A space becomes %20 or +, and ı becomes %C4%B1.
Frequently asked questions
Why is + turned into a space?
In query strings and form data + means a space. If your text contains a real plus sign that was not encoded, turn off the option to keep it.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Encoding and decoding happen in your browser. Tokens, keys and other private text never leave your device.
Is Base64 encryption?
No. Base64 only changes how data is written. Anyone can decode it, so never use it to protect passwords or secrets.
What is URL safe Base64?
It replaces + and / with - and _ and drops the = padding, so the result can be used in addresses and file names. It is used in JWT tokens, for example. The decoder accepts both forms.
Why does decoding show a file instead of text?
If the decoded data is not readable text, the tool checks what kind of file it is. Images are previewed, and any file can be downloaded with the Download button.
Does it work offline?
Yes. After you open the page once, it keeps working without an internet connection.
