About URL Decode

Percent-encoded text is full of codes like %20, %2F and %C3%A9. Decoding turns them back into spaces, slashes and the original characters.

Tracking links and redirect URLs are often encoded several times. Press Decode again until the text stops changing.

Why is + not turned into a space?

In URL paths, + is a literal plus sign. Tick “+ means space” for form data and query strings where + stands for a space.

What does “URI malformed” mean?

There's a % that isn't followed by two hex digits. Fix or remove it, then decode again.
