Frequently asked questions

Why does my URL have %20 everywhere?

Spaces in URLs are encoded as %20 (or + in query strings). Decoding reveals the original readable URL.

Does it handle Unicode URLs?

Yes — %C3%A9 and similar multi-byte UTF-8 sequences are decoded to their Unicode characters.

What if there are double-encoded characters?

Enable the 'decode twice' option to handle URLs that were encoded multiple times.
