    • Frequently Asked Questions

    What are URL query parameters?▼

    URL query parameters are key-value pairs appended to a URL after a question mark (?). They pass data between web pages, such as search queries, filter options, page numbers, and tracking information.

    What is URL encoding/decoding?▼

    URL encoding replaces special characters with percent-encoded equivalents (e.g., space becomes %20 or +). Decoding converts them back to their original form. Our tool shows both encoded and decoded values.

    How do I read query parameters in a URL?▼

    Query parameters start after the ? in a URL and are separated by &. Each parameter is a key=value pair. For example: ?name=Alice&age=30 has two parameters: name=Alice and age=30.

    Can I parse URLs without the domain?▼

    Yes. You can enter just the query string part (?key=value&foo=bar) or a full URL. The tool extracts the query string automatically.
