Frequently Asked Questions

URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set. If a URL contains characters outside the ASCII set, or reserved characters like ? or &, they must be encoded into a valid ASCII format (%) to not break the URL structure.
This tool encodes all characters except the standard alphabet characters, decimal digits, and - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ). It explicitly encodes spaces to %20 and special delimiters.
This tool uses encodeURIComponent, meaning it will encode standard URL operators like slashes (/) and colons (:). For full strings, it's safer used on the GET query parameters specifically to avoid corrupting a HTTP prefix.
