URL encoder

URL Encoder is a simple and free online tool that quickly and easily encodes your data.
URL encoder escapes characters in a string so it is safe to be used in a url, for instance as a query parameter.

Percent encode

URL encoding is also known as "Percent encoding" because the encoded hexadecimal digits are preceded by a percent sign (%).

Spaces in URLs

URL should not contain space characters, but those should be encoded instead. URL encoded space character is %20 and as such it can be used in URLs.

Common usage of URL encoding

• When using invalid URL characters („ < > # % \ | ^ [ ] ` spaces) for URLs
• When using reserved URL characters (! # $ % & ' ( ) * + , / : ; = ? @ [ ]) for query parameters or path parameters

URL special characters

• Unsafe characters encoding
  These characters should always be encoded because there is the possibility of being misunderstood within URLs for various reasons.
  

  newline	space	"	%	-	.	<	>	\	^	_	`	{	|	}	~
  %0A or %0D or %0D%0A	%20	%22	%25	%2D	%2E	%3C	%3E	%5C	%5E	%5F	%60	%7B	%7C	%7D	%7E

  
  
• Reserved characters encoding
  These special characters must be encoded when not used in their special role inside a URL.
  

  !	#	$	%	&	'	(	)	*	+	,	/	:	;	=	?	@	[	]
  %21	%23	%24	%25	%26	%27	%28	%29	%2A	%2B	%2C	%2F	%3A	%3B	%3D	%3F	%40	%5B	%5D
