Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a full URL and a URL component?

Full URL mode keeps characters such as /, :, ?, &, and =. Leave it off when encoding a query value or path segment.

What happens with invalid encoded text?

An error message appears and the result is cleared.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. Conversion and storage take place only in your browser.

Distinguish a full URL from one URL component

When encoding a query value or path segment, do not encode the entire URL as one component. Encoding text that already contains percent escapes can produce double encoding.
