About the URL Decoder

Percent-encoded URLs from logs, analytics exports and redirect chains are unreadable — %3A%2F%2F hides a simple :// behind noise.

Paste an encoded string to get the readable original back, including correctly reassembled multi-byte UTF-8 characters.

How to use the URL Decoder

  1. Paste the percent-encoded string.
  2. Read the decoded output.
  3. Decode again if the result still contains % sequences — double-encoded URLs are common in redirect chains.
  4. Copy the readable version.
