Frequently Asked Questions
Is URL encoding with PDFPilot really free?
Yes. URL Encode is completely free to use, with no sign-up or account required.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The encoding runs entirely in your browser using the standard encodeURIComponent function. Your file is never uploaded to PDFPilot's servers.
What characters get encoded?
Spaces, &, ?, #, /, and other characters with special meaning in a URL, plus any non-ASCII characters — each is replaced with its percent-escaped equivalent, e.g. a space becomes %20.
When would I need this?
Building a query string value that contains special characters, or embedding a value with spaces or symbols safely inside a URL.
