URL Decode Online
A fast, clean online tool to decode and encode URLs. Supports UTF-8, multi-layer decoding, and works
About URL Decode Online
The Story Behind URL Decode Online I built URL Decode Online out of a simple necessity. As a developer frequently working with REST APIs and complex marketing tracking links, I found myself constantly needing to decode cluttered, percent-encoded strings. While there are many tools available, I was tired of those filled with intrusive ads, slow loading times, and questionable privacy practices. I needed something that was clean, fast, and performed all processing strictly on the client side. What started as a small weekend utility evolved into a full-featured, high-performance tool built with Next.js 16.
Why Privacy-First Matters In today's development landscape, URLs often contain sensitive information, such as API tokens, session IDs, or personal data. Sending this data to a remote server for decoding is a security risk. URL Decode Online solves this by using 100% client-side processing. Your data never leaves your browser, ensuring that your sensitive information remains private and secure. It’s not just a tool; it’s a commitment to developer privacy.
