How It Works

  • The tool uses the browser's built-in URL API to parse the input.
  • If the protocol (e.g., https://) is missing, it is automatically added for parsing.
  • All parsing and processing happens locally in your browser—no data is sent to any server.
  • Query parameters are extracted and displayed as key-value pairs for easy copying.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a URL?

A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address used to access resources on the internet, such as web pages, images, or files.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All parsing is done locally in your browser. No URLs or data are sent to any server.

What if my URL is missing the protocol?

The tool will automatically add https:// if you forget to include a protocol.

Can I use this tool on mobile?

Yes, the tool is fully responsive and works on all modern devices and browsers.

Why do I see an error?

Make sure your input is a valid URL. Invalid or incomplete URLs may not be parsed correctly.

About URL Structure

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it.

https://username:password@example.com:443/path/to/resource?query=value&name=param#section
  • Protocol: https://
  • Authentication: username:password@
  • Hostname: example.com
  • Port: :443
  • Path: /path/to/resource
  • Query String: ?query=value&name=param
  • Fragment: #section

Common URL Components:

  • Protocol - Defines how the browser should communicate (e.g., http, https, ftp)
  • Hostname - The domain name or IP address of the server
  • Port - Optional port number (defaults are 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS)
  • Path - The specific location of a resource on the server
  • Query String - Contains data to be passed to web applications (key-value pairs)
  • Fragment - Reference to a specific section within the page
