Frequently Asked Questions

What is URL encoding?

URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, is a process of converting characters into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a '%' followed by two hexadecimal digits.

Why do I need to encode URLs?

URLs can only contain a specific set of characters. Special characters, spaces, and non-ASCII characters must be encoded to ensure the URL is valid and interpreted correctly by web servers and browsers.
