Frequently asked questions
Is URL Encoder free to use?
Yes. URL Encoder is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does URL Encoder upload your text to a server?
No. URL Encoder processes your text inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a limit on how much input I can use?
URL Encoder handles inputs into the megabytes without trouble; the only real limit is how much your browser tab can hold in memory.
Do I need to install anything to use URL Encoder?
No installation is needed. URL Encoder runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use URL Encoder on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The URL Encoder interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your text when I close the tab?
It is discarded. URL Encoder keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
