About This Tool
Introduction
Pasted a URL full of %20 and %3A and can't read it? The Trencada URL Decoder turns percent-encoded URLs back into readable text instantly — %20 becomes a space, %3A becomes a colon, and so on. It also works in reverse: switch to Encode mode to convert plain text into URL-safe format. Free, no signup, and 100% client-side.
How to Use
- Choose a mode — click the "Decode URL" or "Encode URL" tab. The input label updates automatically.
- Paste your text into the input box (or click Sample to try an example).
- Click Decode / Encode — the result appears instantly in the Result box, with character and line counts shown underneath.
- Copy the result, click "Use result as input" to reverse the conversion, or Clear to start over.
- Tip: when decoding, + signs are treated as spaces, and a clear notice appears if the percent-encoding is malformed.

FAQ
Is it free? Yes — all Trencada tools are free with no signup.
What does decoding do? It converts percent-encoded characters like %20 back to their original form.
Can it encode too? Yes — switch to the Encode URL tab.
Do you store my URLs? No — everything runs in your browser.
What is the query-parameter table? When you decode a full URL containing a query string (the part after ?), its parameters are listed in a neat Parameter/Value table.
What happens if the URL is malformed? You will see a clear notice explaining that a % must be followed by two hex digits. Fix the sequence and decode again.
