URL Decoder
Make long, encoded URLs readable — tracking links, redirects, search URLs — and see the protocol, host, path and every query parameter broken down in a table.
Runs in your browser
How to use
- Paste the encoded URL or text.
- Read the decoded text.
- Check the URL breakdown for parameters.
How it works
Each %XX sequence is converted back to its byte and the bytes are decoded as UTF-8. Invalid sequences, such as a lone % sign, are left as they are instead of causing an error. With “Treat + as space” on, plus signs are decoded as spaces, which is correct for query strings produced by HTML forms.
Examples
- Tracking link
- …?utm_source=news%26letter&redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com → parameters shown decoded, one per row.
Common uses
- Reading redirect and tracking links
- Debugging API query strings
- Checking what data a URL carries

Frequently asked questions
Why does my + turn into a space?
In form-encoded query strings + means space. Turn the option off if your + is literal (for example in a Base64 value).
Is the URL visited?
No. The URL is only parsed as text; nothing is requested.
