How URL Parser works

  1. Paste a full URL (including protocol, e.g. https://) into the input box.
  2. View the breakdown: protocol, host, port, path, query parameters, and hash.
  3. Check each query parameter's decoded key and value individually.
  4. Copy any individual component for use elsewhere.
  • Inspect tracking parameters (utm_source, utm_campaign) in a marketing link.
  • Debug a redirect URL to see its target path and query string.
  • Check the structure of an API endpoint URL during development.
  • Decode percent-encoded characters in a long query string.
  • Verify a dynamically generated URL has the expected components.

URL parsing happens entirely in your browser using standard URL parsing. The URL is never sent to a server.

  • Designed for absolute URLs with a protocol and host, not relative paths.
  • Does not validate whether the URL is reachable — it only parses its structure.
  • Very unusual or malformed URLs may not parse into all expected components.

URL Parser

URL Parser helps inspect long URLs, tracking parameters, redirect targets, and API endpoints. It separates each part so debugging links is easier.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is URL Parser free to use?

Yes. The tool is free and runs directly in your browser with no account required.

Does this tool upload my data?

No. The URL is parsed locally in the browser tab and is not sent to a server.

What parts of a URL does it break down?

Protocol (http/https), hostname, port, path, query string parameters (each as a separate key-value pair), and the hash/fragment.

Can it decode URL-encoded query parameters?

Yes — query parameter values are decoded so you can read percent-encoded characters in their human-readable form.

What if my URL has duplicate query parameters with the same name?

Repeated parameter names (e.g. ?tag=a&tag=b) are both shown, since URLs allow multiple values for the same key.

Can I parse a relative URL?

The tool is designed for absolute URLs that include a protocol and host. Relative paths without a host may not parse into all components.

Why would I need to inspect a URL's parts?

Common reasons include debugging redirect chains, checking tracking parameters (utm_source, etc.), inspecting API endpoint structure, or verifying a generated link is well-formed.
