Online URL Parser & Query String Analyzer

Debugging a broken link or inspecting a massive Google Analytics tracking URL? Our free online URL Parser instantly deconstructs any web address into its core components (protocol, host, port, path, hash) and automatically decodes and tabulates all query string parameters for easy reading.

Privacy First: Your URLs (which may contain sensitive session tokens or PII in the query parameters) are parsed entirely within your browser. No data is ever logged to a remote server.

Core Features

  • Standardized ParsingUtilizes the modern URL interface specified by the WHATWG standard. This ensures the parsing logic exactly matches how modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) will interpret the link.
  • Query Parameter TabulationAutomatically splits long, unreadable query strings (e.g., ?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&id=123) into a clean, searchable table of key-value pairs.
  • Automatic DecodingQuery parameters are frequently percent-encoded (e.g., %20 for spaces). The parser automatically decodes these values back into human-readable text before displaying them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between URI and URL?
A URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is a generic term for all types of names and addresses that refer to objects on the web. A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a specific type of URI that not only identifies the resource, but also provides the means to locate it (e.g., by including the https:// or ftp:// protocol). All URLs are URIs, but not all URIs are URLs.
What is a URL Hash (Fragment)?
The hash (or fragment identifier) is the part of the URL that comes after the # symbol. It is primarily used by the browser to scroll down to a specific section of a webpage. Crucially, the hash is never sent to the server. It is evaluated entirely on the client-side.
