URL Parser

Split a URL into protocol, host, port, path, query parameters and fragment.

What this tool does

Breaks a URL into its components and lists every query parameter, decoded, so long tracking links are easy to read.

Who should use it

Developers and marketers debugging links, redirects and tracking parameters.

How it works

Uses the WHATWG URL parser built into your browser, so results match how browsers interpret the address, including punycode conversion of international domain names.

How to use it

  1. Enter or paste url in the form.
  2. Use "Load example" if you want to see how input should look.
  3. Press the run button. Processing happens instantly in your browser.
  4. Review the result panel, then copy or download the output if the tool offers it. Use Reset to start over.

Practical example

https://example.com/a?x=1&y=two shows host example.com, path /a, and params x and y.

Understanding the results

Hostnames are shown in ASCII (punycode) form. Parameters are percent-decoded.

Limitations

Relative URLs cannot be parsed without a base. The tool does not check whether the URL is reachable.

Accuracy and report transparency

Results are computed in your browser from exactly what you enter. Deterministic steps (counting, parsing, encoding, validation) are verified by an automated test-suite with known answers. Where a method is a heuristic, the result panel says "estimated". No external data is used and nothing is invented.

Privacy

Your input never leaves your device for this tool. We count anonymous events (tool opened, run, copied) without storing what you typed. See the Privacy Policy.

Frequently asked questions

What is the fragment?

The part after # is processed by the browser only and is never sent to the server.

Is my data sent to your server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so the text or files you enter stay on your device. We do record anonymous counts of how often each tool is opened or run (no input data) to see which tools are useful.

How accurate are the results?

Counting, parsing, encoding and validation steps are deterministic and covered by automated tests with known answers. Anything based on a heuristic is labelled "estimated" in the result panel.

Is this tool really free?

Yes. There is no account, limit or paid plan. The site is supported by advertising, which is disclosed on our Advertising Disclosure page.
