Frequently asked questions
What is Path Unescape used for?
Use it to read a path piece from a log or router that percent-encoded spaces as %20.

Fill in Input. This field is required. Click Run and copy the result under the form.
What can I paste or upload into Path Unescape?
Paste one encoded segment. Invalid % sequences return an error.
What output does Path Unescape give me?
The decoded segment. %20 becomes a space. A literal + is not turned into a space.
Is Path Unescape free, and is my input private?
Yes — Your input is processed in memory for this request only. It is not saved to disk or the database, and it is cleared after the tool finishes.
How is this different from URL Decode?
URL Decode treats + as a space because that is the query-string rule. Path Unescape does not.
Inputs are processed in memory only and are not saved to disk or the database. Data exists only for the duration of your request.
