URL decoding reverses percent-encoding, converting sequences like %20 back to their original characters (e.g. spaces). Our free URL Decoder instantly reveals the readable text behind encoded URLs.
Encoded URLs are common in browser address bars, server logs, API responses, and redirects. This tool helps you quickly understand what an encoded URL actually says without manually converting percent-encoded characters.
The decoder handles all standard percent-encoded characters, including multi-byte UTF-8 sequences for international characters. Everything runs in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
