Decode a URL-encoded string
Turn percent-encoded text back into readable characters.
What to know
Percent-escapes are converted back to their original characters. A plus sign is left as a literal plus; in query strings that historically meant a space, but only in form-encoded data, and guessing wrong corrupts legitimate plus signs.
Questions
Is anything uploaded to a server?
No. Every tool on this site runs inside your browser using standard web APIs. There is no upload, no account, no logging and no server holding your data afterwards. You can confirm it by opening your browser's developer tools and watching the network tab stay empty while you work.
