URL-encode XML

Putting XML inside a URL is normally impossible — angle brackets, quotes and ampersands would break the request. URL-encode XML percent-encodes your document so it travels safely in query strings, redirects and API calls.

Choose between query-string mode (encodeURIComponent, compact and standard) and byte mode (every UTF-8 byte as its own %XX sequence). The output is ready to paste into any URL, and the companion decoder reverses it. Encoding happens entirely in your browser.

• Query-string encoding: standard percent-encoding via encodeURIComponent.
• Byte-exact mode: every UTF-8 byte becomes a %XX sequence.
• UTF-8 safe: international text and symbols are encoded correctly.
• Live updates: re-encode as you type with the live toggle.
• Instant stats: see the encoded length compared with the source.
• Copy, download or print: the encoded string is a click from your clipboard.
• Round-trip friendly: decode with the companion tool to verify fidelity.
• Private by design: nothing leaves your browser.

1. Paste your XML or load it from a file.
2. Choose the mode — query-string for standard encoding, byte mode for literal %XX output.
3. Copy the encoded result into your URL, or download it.

Example 1 — API parameters. Pass an XML fragment as a single query parameter by URL-encoding it, keeping the request well-formed.

Example 2 — Redirects and tracking. XML payloads in redirect URLs survive only when percent-encoded.

Example 3 — Deep linking. Encode configuration XML into a shareable link that reconstructs the document on the other end.

• URL-safe — angle brackets, quotes and spaces encoded away.
• Two precision modes — standard or byte-exact output.
• UTF-8 correct — international text survives round-trips.
• Instant and free — paste, encode, copy, done.
• Private by design — local encoding, nothing uploaded.
