How does the URL Encoder/Decoder work?
The URL Encoder and Decoder safely converts special characters in your text into a URL-friendly format (Percent-encoding) or decodes a URL string back into readable text.
Why encode URLs?
URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set. If a URL contains characters outside the ASCII set, or reserved characters (like spaces, `&`, `=`, or `?`), they must be converted. A space becomes `%20` or `+`, ensuring the web server processes the link correctly.
