How to URL Encode Text
- Enter text or URL: Paste text containing special characters (spaces, &, =, ?, etc.) that need to be URL-safe encoded.
- Click Encode: Click the "Encode" button to convert special characters to percent-encoded format (e.g., space becomes %20).
- View encoded result: The encoded output is safe to use in URLs, query parameters, or form data. Special characters are now properly escaped.
