What is URL Decoding?

URL decoding reverses percent-encoded characters back to their normal form. This helps in reading and understanding encoded URLs.

Why Use a URL Decoder?

Sometimes, URLs are percent-encoded to handle special characters, but those encoded links aren't always easy to read. Our URL Decoder reverses that process, turning encoded characters back into their original form for easier editing, sharing, and understanding.

Whether you're debugging a link, viewing query strings, or analyzing server logs, ConvertLoom's URL Decoder helps you make sense of complex URLs quickly and easily.
