Query strings, redirect parameters, and API debugging.

Double-encoding a value that is already encoded; decode it first.

Component-level encoding

Uses encodeURIComponent semantics, which is what query parameters expect.

Error-aware decoding

Malformed percent escapes are reported instead of silently corrupted.

Browser-first

What is the limit?

Up to 100,000 characters

Do I need an account?

No for the guest allowance. A free account gives 20 runs per tool per day; Pro gives 50.
