What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding, officially known as percent-encoding, is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Characters that are not allowed in a URL (like spaces, symbols, and non-ASCII characters) must be encoded into a valid format by converting them to a percent sign (%) followed by two hexadecimal digits.
For instance, a space becomes %20 or +, and a quote becomes %22.

Privacy Note
Your data is fully secure. Since all encoding and decoding is performed locally via client-side JavaScript, your URLs or query strings never leave your device.
