Frequently asked questions
Does my data get uploaded anywhere?
No. URL Decoder runs entirely in your browser — your data is never sent to a server.
What happens if I paste malformed percent-encoding?
You'll see a clear error message letting you know the input contains invalid %XX sequences, instead of a crash or garbled output.
