URL Encoder - Tool to encode URL

This is a URL Encoder Tool that will allow you to encode your URLs. This is World's simplest URL encoder. Just paste your URL in the form below, press the URL Encode button, and you get an escaped URL.

How URL encoder Works:

This tool uses encodeURIComponent, JavaScript's builtin function to encode urls.

The encodeURIComponent function in JavaScript is a built-in function that is used to encode a string as a valid component of a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). It is part of the JavaScript encodeURI function family.

The encodeURIComponent function is used to encode strings that are used in the components of a URI, such as the query string or the fragment identifier. The function replaces certain characters in the input string with their escaped representation, in order to make the string a valid component of a URI.

let input = "This is a test string";
let encoded = encodeURIComponent(input);

console.log(encoded); // Output: "This%20is%20a%20test%20string"

In this example, the input string is encoded using encodeURIComponent, and the resulting string is a valid component of a URI, with all spaces replaced by %20.

It's important to use encodeURIComponent instead of encodeURI when encoding strings for use in URI components, as encodeURI will not escape all characters that are not valid in a URI, while encodeURIComponent will escape all characters that are not valid in a URI component.
