The frame below runs the same code as this page, in the reader's own browser. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is sent to you.

Pick a dark background and the text and panels follow it, so the frame stays readable on a dark page.

How it works

URL components are parsed, non-unreserved bytes are encoded, and scheme and delimiters remain structural; existing escapes can be preserved or normalized. The result is an ASCII URI.

  • Full encoding differs from form encoding.
  • Preserving escapes avoids accidental double encoding.

Worked example

Percent-encode every character including safe ones
Input
											Hello
Output
												%48%65%6C%6C%6F

When to use this

Redirect targets, canonical URLs, and API logging normalize full URLs.

Edge cases

  • Encoding %20 again can create %2520.
  • A plus can be literal in a URI but space in form encoding.
  • Fragments stay in the URL but are not sent to servers.
