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.
