Free URL Parser that works offline
Break a complex address into readable components without requesting the destination. Protocol, credentials, hostname, port, origin, path, query, fragment and decoded parameter entries are displayed as JSON.
What this url parser does
Using the standards-based URL API handles escaping and internationalized host rules more reliably than manual splitting. Embedded passwords are masked in output because exposing them again is rarely useful, though the original input remains visible in the editor.
How to use the URL Parser
- Enter or paste an absolute URL including a protocol into the tool.
- Adjust the available options so they match the format and result you need.
- Choose Parse URL and review formatted JSON containing its address components before using it.
- Copy or download the result, then clear the page if the input was sensitive.
Common uses
- Debugging callback and redirect addresses
- Inspecting tracking and query parameters
- Checking ports, paths and fragments
- Teaching the structure of an absolute URL
Private processing and offline access
This tool does not submit your input to a conversion server. Processing takes place inside the browser using local JavaScript and standard Web APIs. After the PWA has been installed or cached, the page and its core features remain available without an internet connection. Closing or clearing the page removes unsaved input; the tool does not create an account or cloud history.
Tips for accurate results
- Do not paste live credentials into an untrusted device.
- Duplicate query keys appear once in the compact query object.
- Use the query-string parser when duplicate values must be preserved.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool upload my data?
No. URL Parser processes its input in the current browser and does not submit it to a conversion API.
What input does the URL Parser accept?
Absolute URLs accepted by the browser URL constructor are supported. Relative paths require a base URL and are intentionally rejected here.
Can I use this tool offline?
Yes. Once the Offline Tools PWA has cached the page, the core feature works without an internet connection.
