Frequently asked questions
What is URL Decode used for?

Fill in Input. This field is required. Click Run and copy the result under the form.
What can I paste or upload into URL Decode?
Paste the encoded value. a+b%26c becomes a b&c. A stray % that is not two hex digits causes an error.
What output does URL Decode give me?
The decoded text. + is a space, and %20 is also a space.
Is URL Decode 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.
Why did a plus in my path turn into a space?
This decoder follows query rules, where + means space. If the plus was a literal character in a path, decode it with Path Unescape instead.
Inputs are processed in memory only and are not saved to disk or the database. Data exists only for the duration of your request.
