Free URL Decode Online - Percent Decoding Tool

Decoding a URL component

This tool makes a percent-encoded string readable again — %20 becomes a space, %C3%A4 becomes ä.

That lets you see what values an address is actually passing along.

How to use it

Paste the encoded string and copy the result.

If the input is doubly encoded — %2520 instead of %20 — repeat the process until the text reads correctly.

What it is useful for

Helpful when working through log files and referrers where search terms and parameters appear encoded.

When debugging forms, the decoded version shows which values were actually submitted.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I see sequences like Ã¤?

The input was read with a different character encoding from the one used to encode it. Check where the string came from.

What does double encoding mean?

An already encoded value was encoded again, so several decoding passes are needed.

Can I reverse the process?

Yes, with the tool that encodes URL components.
