URL Parser

Paste any URL and instantly see it broken down into its constituent parts: protocol, hostname, port, pathname, individual query parameters (key-value pairs), and fragment hash. The tool uses the browser's native URL constructor for accurate parsing that matches how browsers actually interpret URLs.

This is useful for debugging redirect chains, inspecting deep links, verifying OAuth callback URLs, or understanding complex URLs with many query parameters. Each component is displayed in a clean table format, and query parameters are individually listed so you can spot encoding issues or missing values.

All parsing happens locally in your browser. URLs you inspect are never sent to any server.

Frequently asked questions

What URL formats are supported?

Any valid URL that the browser's URL constructor can parse, including http://, https://, ftp://, and custom protocol schemes. Relative URLs are not supported — the input must include a protocol.

How are query parameters displayed?

Each query parameter is shown as a separate key-value pair in the results table. Duplicate keys (like ?tag=a&tag=b) are each shown individually. URL-encoded values are decoded for readability.

Can I parse data: or blob: URLs?

The tool can parse any URL that the browser's URL constructor accepts, including data: and blob: URLs. However, the breakdown is most useful for standard http/https URLs with query strings and paths.
