Frequently asked questions
When do I need URL encoding?
When putting special characters (spaces, &, =, ?, /) into a URL or query string so they are transmitted safely.
What is percent-encoding?
It replaces unsafe characters with a % followed by their hex code, for example a space becomes %20.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes. Every tool on Becoderr is completely free with no sign-up required. Signed-in users get higher file-size limits.
Are my files safe?
Yes. Browser-based tools process files entirely on your device; nothing is uploaded. Server-based tools process files in memory and discard them immediately after the operation.
Is there a file size limit?
Server-based tools accept up to 5 MB for anonymous users and 50 MB when signed in. Browser-based tools are limited only by your device.
