Help improve UNQIRO
Allow anonymous usage statistics? UNQIRO would count only which tool was used, whether it finished and which links between the tools and the Format Lab were followed. Your files, text and results are never included, and this use is not counted.
What to expect
- Malformed escapes are reported: A % without two hexadecimal digits is shown with its position; the text is not changed.
- UTF-8 is checked: Byte sequences that do not form valid UTF-8, often from old systems using other encodings such as Latin-1, are reported instead of turned into replacement characters.
- Plus signs: In form data, + means a space; elsewhere it is a real plus sign. The option makes the choice explicit.
Frequently asked questions
Can I decode a URL that was encoded twice?
Yes: decode once, then paste the result and decode again. Each step is shown so you can see when you are done.
Is anything sent to the URL I paste?
No. The text is only decoded; no link is opened or requested.
