How to decode percent-encoded urls and query strings

  1. Choose the mode

    Pick “decode percent-encoded URLs and query strings” or the reverse mode from the options — both run in the same box.

  2. Paste your input

    The result appears immediately, before you even finish pasting.

  3. Copy the result

    One click puts the output on your clipboard.

  4. Use it

    analytics links, utm parameters, redirect URLs and logged errors

Why use this url decoder?

Typical uses: • Reading what an utm_campaign value actually says • Debugging redirect_uri mismatch errors • Unescaping values copied from server logs

Because the conversion is deterministic and local, results are identical every time and nothing leaks to third parties.

Both directions live on one page, so you never have to bookmark two tools for one job.

Frequently asked questions

Can it re-encode the result for comparison too?

Yes — switch the mode option and the same box converts in the other direction.

Is there a size limit?

No hard limit. Very long inputs simply take a few more milliseconds.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once the page has loaded, the conversion runs without any connection.
