Frequently asked questions

What does %20 mean?

It's the URL-encoded form of a space. Decoding converts these escape sequences back to the characters they represent.

Why didn't my string fully decode?

It may be double-encoded (encoded twice). Run it through the decoder a second time to fully restore it.

Is decoding private?

Yes. It all happens in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
