When would you use this?

URLs can only contain certain characters. Spaces, ampersands, equals signs, and others have to be percent-encoded before they're safe to use in a URL. If you're building query strings by hand, debugging an encoded URL in a log file, or trying to understand what that mess of %20 and %3D characters actually says, this tool handles it in both directions.
