URL Encoding:
Access the Tool: Navigate to the URL Encoder & Decoder tool you've chosen. Examples include W3Schools URL Encoder/Decoder, URL-Encode-Decode, or any other tool of your preference.
Locate the Encoding Section: On the tool's webpage, find the section designated for URL encoding. This is where you will input the text you want to encode.
Input the Text: Enter the text you wish to encode into the provided input field. This can be a URL, a specific component of a URL, or any text you want to convert into a URL-safe format.
Perform URL Encoding: Typically, there is a button or option labeled "Encode" or "URL Encode." Click this button to initiate the encoding process.
Retrieve Encoded Result: The tool will display the encoded result, showing how the special characters have been replaced with URL-safe representations. This is the encoded version of your input text.
URL Decoding:
Access the Tool: If you're still on the same tool, navigate to the URL decoding section. If you've closed the page, revisit the URL Encoder & Decoder tool you selected.
Locate the Decoding Section: Find the section designated for URL decoding. This is where you will input the text you want to decode.
