Nothing you paste leaves this page
The conversion runs in this browser tab. Nothing is sent to Sellstamp or anyone else, which matters for configuration files, customer exports and tokens.
One value, or a whole URL
Encoding a single query value should escape everything, including & and =, which is the default (encodeURIComponent). Tick the whole-URL option to keep the characters that give a URL its structure (encodeURI). Decoding also turns + into a space, as forms send it.
Questions
What is the difference between encoding a value and a URL?
A value must escape & = ? and /, or it would break the URL around it. A whole URL keeps them.
Why does %20 appear instead of spaces?
Spaces are not allowed in URLs, so they are written as %20 (or + in form data).
Why does decoding fail?
The text has a % not followed by two hexadecimal digits, or bytes that are not valid UTF-8.
Can I see the parameters of a long URL?
Yes. Paste the full URL and each parameter is listed with its decoded value.
