About this tool
What does it break down?
Any URL into scheme, credentials, host, port, path, query parameters (decoded, listed) and fragment — the X-ray view for debugging links, callbacks and integrations.
How to use it
- Paste a URL to see every component tabled.
- Inspect each query parameter decoded separately.
- Rebuild or edit parts and re-encode.
Examples
- Why an OAuth callback mismatches: trailing slash or port difference.
- Extracting UTM parameters from a campaign link.
- Reading a signed URL’s expiry without running code.
Important limitations
- Parsing ≠ fetching: it never requests the URL, so liveness is unknown.
- Internationalized domains show punycode — convert for reading.
- Credentials in URLs are deprecated and leak via logs — migrate away.
Privacy
Parsed locally with zero network requests — safe even for sensitive internal URLs.
Frequently asked questions
Query vs fragment?
Query goes to the server; fragments stay client-side — secrets belong in neither.
Why is my parameter garbled?
Encoding mismatch — decode with the right charset, usually UTF-8.
Trailing slash matters?
For origins and some routers, yes — compare exactly.
