frequently asked questions

what is the difference between the encode modes?

component mode encodes everything unsafe including / ? & =, for query values. full url mode keeps those characters so the url still works.

why do i get a malformed error?

decoding fails when a percent sign is not followed by two hex digits, or the bytes are not valid utf-8.

is my text uploaded?

no, it runs entirely in your browser.
