Frequently Asked Questions
%20 is the URL-encoded representation of a space character. Each %XX sequence represents a byte value in hexadecimal.
In form data (application/x-www-form-urlencoded), + represents a space. Replace + with %20 before decoding, or replace + with spaces in the result.
This tool decodes the entire input. For best results, decode just the query parameter values rather than the full URL structure.
