Why does decoding sometimes fail with an error?

This happens when the input contains a malformed % sequence that isn't valid percent-encoding.

It represents a single space character in percent-encoded text.

Can I decode a value that was encoded twice?

Yes — run it through the decoder twice, once for each layer of encoding.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No — decoding happens entirely in your browser.

What is the difference between the two decode modes?

Component mode decodes every percent-encoded character; full-URL mode preserves the meaning of structural characters like : and /.

Does this work with non-English characters?

Yes — encoded UTF-8 byte sequences are decoded back into their original characters.

What Is URL Decoding?

URL decoding reverses percent-encoding, converting %XX sequences back into their original characters — turning "hello%20world" back into "hello world", for example.

It is useful whenever you have a URL or query string copied from a browser's address bar, server log, or API response and want to read its actual, human-readable content.

Switch modes if component decoding reports an error on a full URL.

Check for Double-Encoding

If the result still contains %XX sequences, the text may have been encoded twice — decode it again.
