What is the URL Encoder?
The URL Encoder converts text into a format that's safe to include in a web address, replacing special characters (like spaces, &, or #) with percent-encoded equivalents so URLs remain valid and don't break.
How Does It Work?
Enter the text or URL you want to encode and click "Encode." The tool uses the standard `encodeURIComponent` method to convert unsafe characters into their percent-encoded form and displays the result, ready to use in a link or query string.
