Frequently Asked Questions
What does URL decoding do?
It converts percent-encoded sequences such as %20 back into readable characters, so an encoded link becomes human-readable again.
Why do I get a malformed % error?
A % sign must be followed by two hexadecimal digits. A lone % or an incomplete sequence cannot be decoded — check the pasted text.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser and your input is never uploaded to a server.
Can I use this tool on my phone?
Yes, the tool is fully mobile-friendly and works in any modern browser.
