About this URL Decode
URL Decode converts percent-encoded sequences back into normal characters so encoded URLs and query values become readable again.
This is useful when debugging query strings, log output, or API requests where values are URL-encoded. Malformed encodings (like a stray %) can cause decoding failures.
