What is URL Decoding?

URL decoding (percent decoding) is the process of converting percent-encoded characters back to their original form. When URLs contain special characters, they are encoded using percent encoding (like %20 for space, %21 for exclamation mark) to ensure safe transmission over the internet.

Our URL decoder reverses this process, converting encoded characters back to human-readable format, making URLs easier to read and understand.
