Important to know
Decode percent-encoded URL text.
Malformed percent escapes are rejected. A decoded URL is not automatically safe to visit or use as a redirect.
Formula and methodology
Replaces each valid percent-encoded byte sequence with its decoded byte; plus signs are left unchanged.
Frequently asked questions
Does a plus sign become a space?
No. This tool decodes URL components, not form-encoded query strings.
