About URL Encoding
URL encoding (percent-encoding) converts special characters to a format that can be safely transmitted in URLs. Characters like spaces, &, and non-ASCII characters are converted to %XX format.
- Spaces become %20 or + depending on context
- Non-ASCII characters are UTF-8 encoded first
- Safe characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, - _ . ~
- Essential for query strings and URL paths
- All processing happens locally in your browser
