FAQ
What is URL deobfuscation?
URL deobfuscation is the process of decoding layers of encoding (like percent-encoding) and revealing the true destination of a link, including any nested redirects or hidden parameters.
Why should I check a URL before clicking?
Obfuscated URLs can hide malicious destinations, phishing pages, or unwanted redirects. Checking first helps you avoid security risks and assess SEO implications.
Does this tool visit the URL?
No, the tool analyzes the URL string itself without making any network requests, so you can inspect safely.
Can I check multiple URLs at once?
Yes, you can enter multiple URLs (one per line) to decode and inspect them in a single pass.
