How URL Decode works

Decodes percent-encoded UTF-8 sequences in a URL component.

Try an example

hello%20world → hello world.

Good to know

A plus sign stays a plus sign; this is not form-urlencoded decoding. Malformed escapes are rejected. Input stays in this tab and is never sent to analytics. Limit 100,000 characters. No input is executed.

Your privacy

Processing happens on this device for this tool. We do not upload your input, put it in share links or save it to your favourites. Closing this tab discards the working input; downloaded results remain wherever you save them.
