What is URL Decoding?

URL decoding (also called percent decoding) converts URL-encoded strings back to readable text. URLs are encoded to handle special characters, spaces, and non-ASCII characters safely.
Common encoded characters include:
- Space → %20
- & → %26
- = → %3D
- # → %23
- @ → %40

Our decoder supports both JavaScript decoding methods:
  • decodeURIComponent() - Decodes all percent-encoded characters
  • decodeURI() - Decodes URI but preserves reserved characters
Perfect for:
  • Redirect URLs: Extract 'to' parameter from redirect links
  • API URLs: Decode 'url' or 'redirect' parameters
  • Tracking URLs: Extract destination URLs from tracking links
  • Example: Extract 'to' from `https://api.vc.ru/v2.8/redirect?to=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.ru%2F`

Extract Query Parameters

Need to extract a specific parameter from a URL? Our tool can extract and decode query parameters automatically.

Batch Processing

Process multiple URLs at once! Paste URLs one per line → the decoder will process each URL and return all decoded results.
Ideal for:
  • Processing lists of encoded URLs
  • Extracting parameters from multiple redirect URLs
  • Bulk URL decoding for data analysis
