URL Decoder FAQ
What does URL decoding do?
It reverses percent-encoding, converting sequences like %20 back to spaces and %26 back to ampersands so the original string is readable.
Is URL decoding the reverse of URL encoding?
Yes. URL decoder reverses the transformation that URL encoder applies, restoring the original characters from their percent-encoded forms.
