About This Tool
URLs can look deceptively simple, but they pack a surprising amount of structured information into a single string. This tool dissects any URL you paste and presents every component clearly: the protocol (http or https), the hostname, the port if specified, the full pathname, the fragment hash, and the complete origin. Understanding each piece is essential for debugging web requests, building links programmatically, or auditing third-party URLs.
Query strings are where URLs get complex. Rather than showing a raw jumble of ampersands and percent-encoded characters, this parser lists every query parameter as a clean key-value pair. You can immediately see what tracking parameters, filters, or API arguments are embedded in any link. The tool also validates whether the input is a syntactically correct URL and flags malformed inputs instantly.
Two additional utilities round out the tool: a URL encoder that converts special characters into their percent-encoded equivalents (ideal for constructing safe query strings), and a decoder that reverses the process and makes encoded URLs human-readable again. Together they cover the full URL manipulation workflow that developers and marketers deal with daily.
