Frequently asked questions

When do I need URL encoding?

Whenever a URL contains spaces or characters like &, ?, =, or non-ASCII text that must be escaped.

What is the difference from Base64?

URL encoding escapes unsafe URL characters with %XX; Base64 re-encodes data into an ASCII alphabet.

Does it change my link's meaning?

Encoding preserves the value; it only makes it safe to place in a URL.
