Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between "Component" and "Full URI" encoding?
Component encoding (encodeURIComponent) escapes every special character, including / ? & = — use it for a single query parameter's value. Full URI encoding (encodeURI) leaves URL-structural characters like : / ? & alone — use it when encoding an entire URL.
Why did decoding fail?
Decoding fails if the input contains invalid or incomplete percent-encoded sequences (like a stray % not followed by two hex digits). Double-check you pasted the full encoded string.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Encoding and decoding both run locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
