Encode Text for URL Compatibility

Use this tool to encode strings for URL-safe transmission. URL encoding ensures that special characters are converted into a format that can be safely used in URLs.

What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding converts certain characters into a percent ("%") followed by two hexadecimal digits. This process is crucial for maintaining uniformity in URIs and ensuring compatibility across platforms.

How Does it Work?

  • Replace reserved and non-ASCII characters with their encoded values.
  • Utilize UTF-8 encoding to map text into bytes.
  • Ensure the resulting URL is safe for transmission.

For example, the string "François" is encoded as Fran%C3%A7ois.
