With this online tool, you can easily escape and unescape strings (among other powerful things, explained below)…

As you can see, there are several features… I’ll explain them one by one…
Escape
Calls the escape Javascript function, which encodes the special characters (with some exceptions).
Example:
Hello, this is a test
Hello%2C%20this%20is%20a%20test
Escape (Forced)
Encodes every character, no matter whether it is special or not. Ideal to make the strings not easily readable.
Example:
Hello, this is a test
%48%65%6C%6C%6F%2C%20%74%68%69%73%20%69%73%20%61%20%74%65%73%74
Unescape
Calls the unescape Javascript function, which decodes every encoded character. (The ones with the form %XX or %uXXXX).
Example 1:
Hello%2C%20this%20is%20a%20test
Hello, this is a test
Example 2:
%48%65%6C%6C%6F%2C%20%74%68%69%73%20%69%73%20%61%20%74%65%73%74
Hello, this is a test
Escape URL
Encodes the special characters, but respecting the URL syntax. It’s not the same as the “encodeURI” option, since this latter one calls the encodeURI Javascript function, which does not encode the following characters:
; , / ? : @ & = + $ - _ . ! ~ * ' ( ) #
While this one just does not encode them where corresponding. Parameters, anchors and Unicode characters are supported…
Example:
http://www.example.com:84/This is my file named niño: the named place.doc
http://www.example.com:84/This%20is%20my%20file%20named%20ni%F1o%3A%20the%20named%20place.doc
Escape URL (Forced)
Similar to “Escape URL”, but forcing the normal character encoding as much as possible (without including the host). Ideal to make URLs hard to read at first glance.
Example:
http://www.example.com:84/This is my file named niño: the named place.doc
http://www.example.com:84/%54%68%69%73%20%69%73%20%6D%79%20%66%69%6C%65%20%6E%61%6D%65%64%20%6E%69%F1%6F%3A%20%74%68%65%20%6E%61%6D%65%64%20%70%6C%61%63%65%2E%64%6F%63
Escape URL (Forced + Host)
Similar to “Escape URL”, but forcing the normal character encoding as much as possible (host included). Ideal to make URLs hard to read at first glance.
Note: this syntax is not supported in some browsers.
Supported browsers: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome.
Unsupported browsers: Firefox, Lynx.
In the case of Firefox, the string gets decoded correctly (if the URL is valid), but it doesn’t open, you have to open it again with the decoded address (selecting it and pressing Enter). If the host doesn’t contain any dot, “www.” y “.com” al added automatically.
If you have support information for any other browser, please tell me and I’ll add it.
Ejemplo:
http://www.example.com:84/This is my file named niño: the named place.doc
http://%77%77%77.%65%78%61%6D%70%6C%65.%63%6F%6D:84/%54%68%69%73%20%69%73%20%6D%79%20%66%69%6C%65%20%6E%61%6D%65%64%20%6E%69%F1%6F%3A%20%74%68%65%20%6E%61%6D%65%64%20%70%6C%61%63%65%2E%64%6F%63
Intelligent Escape
This function is an intelligent version of “Escape”. It encodes the corresponding characters, but without re-encoding the already encoded data.
Example:
Partially%22%20encoded%20string. And I added this part.
Partially%22%20encoded%20string.%20And%20I%20added%20this%20part.
If we just pressed “Escape”, we would have received:
Partially%2522%2520encoded%2520string.%20And%20I%20added%20this%20part.
Intelligent Unescape
Calls the unescape Javascript function repeatedly until there’s nothing remaining to be decoded. Useful when a string was encoded several times.
Example:
%25%34%38%25%36%35%25%36%43%25%36%43%25%36%46
Hello
If we just pressed “Unescape”, we would have received:
%48%65%6C%6C%6F
Parse URL Parameters
It breaks a URL into its corresponding parameters. The anchor is left without unescaping in the end.
Example:
http://www.example.com:81/path/path/hello.php?a=3&b=Good%20Morning&c=El%20Ni%F1o#test-anchor
http://www.example.com:81/path/path/hello.php a=3 b=Good Morning c=El Niño #test-anchor
Make URL with Parameters
Reconstructs a URL based in the specified URL + parameters + anchor.
Example:
http://www.example.com:81/path/path/hello.php a=3 b=Good Morning c=El Niño #test-anchor
http://www.example.com:81/path/path/hello.php?a=3&b=Good%20Morning&c=El%20Ni%F1o#test-anchor
Escape +
It encodes the + characters. They are not escaped by the other functions, with the exception of “Escape (Forced)”.
Escape #
It encodes the # characters. They are not escaped by the other functions, with the exception of “Escape (Forced)”.
Escape: <char>
It encodes the characters specified in the input box.
encodeURI
Calls the encodeURI Javascript function.
decodeURI
Calls the decodeURI Javascript function.
encodeURIComponent
Calls the encodeURIComponent Javascript function.
decodeURIComponent
Calls the decodeURIComponent Javascript function.
