About URL Encoder

Encode one value before assembling a URL. A literal ampersand in a search term needs escaping so it cannot be mistaken for a parameter separator.

Escapes characters such as ampersands and slashes within a value.

Recomputes the component when the input changes.

1
Enter a raw component
Paste a raw value such as tea & coffee into Raw Text / URL.
2
Copy the percent escapes
Copy the encoded result.
3
Insert the encoded value
Insert the result where that value belongs, keeping the surrounding URL separators intact.

Text in, UTF-8 percent-encoded component out.

Spaces become %20. Some characters, including apostrophes and parentheses, remain unescaped under encodeURIComponent.
Pasting a whole URL also escapes its structural separators. Previously encoded percent signs are encoded again.

tea & coffee becomes tea%20%26%20coffee.

Yes, when the entire URL is the value of a single parameter.
