The URL Decoder Tool provides a fast and reliable way to transform URL-encoded text back into its original readable format. It is commonly needed when URLs contain encoded characters like %20 for spaces or %3A for colons. This tool simplifies the process by decoding those sequences instantly, restoring the proper text without errors or guesswork.
It is particularly useful for developers, marketers, students, and anyone dealing with web addresses, query parameters, or API responses. The entire decoding process is performed inside your browser to ensure security and speed.
When web data is encoded for URLs, special characters are replaced with percentage-based codes. This tool accurately reverses that encoding so the text is fully readable again. Whether you are decoding individual links, bulk data, or file-based URL strings, this tool handles the task efficiently.
You can either type the encoded URL directly into the tool or upload a file containing encoded text. After decoding, the output is immediately available for copying or saving.
This tool supports both direct text input and file-based decoding. You can:
Manually paste encoded URLs into the input area for quick decoding.
Upload a text file containing one or multiple URL-encoded strings. The tool reads the file and decodes the content automatically.
The URL Decoder can instantly update the decoded result as you modify the input. You can turn on the automatic decoding feature to see the output change in real-time while typing, pasting, or editing content. This setting is optional and can be disabled if you prefer manual decoding.
The tool includes an input memory option that saves your data inside your browser. If you enable this feature, your input will still be available after refreshing the page or reopening the browser.
This is helpful for:
Preventing accidental data loss during browser refreshes.
Returning to long decoding tasks without restarting.
Working across multiple browser sessions on the same device.
You can resize both the input and output areas to suit your workspace preferences. Large input boxes help you handle lengthy encoded text, while an expanded output box makes it easier to review complex decoded results.
Advantages include:
Clearer navigation through long strings.
Custom layout control to match your screen size.
Improved readability for detailed tasks.
Once the decoding is complete, you can choose what to do with the result:
Copy the decoded text to your clipboard instantly for use in other apps or workflows.
Download the decoded output as a file for archiving or sharing purposes.
The tool supports files up to 10MB in size. This limit helps ensure that the decoding process remains fast and that your browser continues to perform smoothly. Larger files will be rejected to maintain system stability.
All decoding is handled directly inside your browser using local scripts. The tool does not send your input to any server, keeping your information private and fully secure.
Benefits of browser-based processing include:
Data privacy: Your input never leaves your device.
High speed: Immediate decoding without delay.
Offline capability: If the tool is already loaded, you can continue working without an active internet connection.
This decoding tool is fully optimized for use across a variety of modern devices, including smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. The layout is responsive, providing an efficient experience with both touch and mouse input.
The URL Decoder Tool is available for immediate use without any registration or login process. There are no hidden restrictions, account barriers, or extra steps. It is accessible anytime for quick, on-the-spot decoding jobs.
