How do I parse a URL into its components?

Paste a URL into AnyTool's URL Parser to break it into protocol, host, port, path, query, and fragment. Edit query params and rebuild the URL, percent-encode or decode, and strip UTM tracking — all live, in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

  • Full component breakdown with per-field copy
  • Editable query-param table that rebuilds the URL live
  • Percent encode/decode and one-click UTM/tracking stripper
  • 100% in your browser — no upload, no signup, works offline

What is

URL Parsing

URL parsing splits a web address into its parts — scheme, host, port, path, query string, and fragment — so each can be read or edited. Percent-encoding converts unsafe characters into %XX sequences for safe transmission.

  2. 2

    Edit query params

    Add, remove, or change query rows and watch the URL rebuild live.

  3. 3

    Clean & copy

    Strip UTM tags or encode/decode, then copy the rebuilt URL.

Result: A parsed and rebuilt URL

Frequently Asked Questions

No — parsing uses the browser's native URL API, so nothing is sent to a server.

AnyTool parses and rebuilds URLs entirely client-side with the WHATWG-spec URL and URLSearchParams APIs. No request is ever made, it works offline, and there is no signup or upsell.

Yes — edit, add, remove, or reorder query params and the full URL rebuilds live.

The query string is parsed into an editable key/value table; change any row and the rebuilt URL updates instantly, with a "treat + as space" toggle for form data and double-encoding detection.

Yes — one click strips utm_*, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, and similar trackers.

A built-in cleaner removes common tracking parameters and rebuilds a clean URL, and you can extend the deny-list yourself.

Detailed Explanation

Methodology

How URL Parsing Works

AnyTool parses URLs with the browser's WHATWG-spec-compliant URL and URLSearchParams APIs, breaking the input into protocol, username, password, host, port, pathname, search, and fragment. The query string becomes an editable key/value table that rebuilds the URL live, with a "treat + as space" toggle for form data. Percent-encoding uses encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent (and encodeURI/decodeURI for full URLs), and a UTF-8 byte view is built with TextEncoder. Everything runs locally with zero added bundle weight — no request is ever made.
