A URL packs a lot of information into one string — protocol, domain, path, and query parameters — and it's not always obvious at a glance where one part ends and the next begins.

This tool splits any URL into its individual components, including every query string parameter.

How it works

Paste a URL. The tool splits it into its scheme, host, optional port, path, query string, and fragment, then further parses the query string into individual key-value pairs.

  1. Enter uRL.

Examples

A URL with a query string

https://example.com/path?foo=bar&baz=qux#section splits into host "example.com", path "/path", 2 query parameters, and fragment "section".

Who should use it

  • Debugging a redirect or tracking link by inspecting its components.
  • Understanding how many and which query parameters a URL carries.

Industry applications

  • Web development and debugging
  • SEO and marketing link analysis

Advantages

  • Breaks down every component, including individual query parameters.
  • Handles ports, fragments, and query strings all in one result.

Limitations

  • Works best with fully-qualified URLs that include a scheme.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Pasting a URL without its scheme (https://) and getting unexpected results, since the parser then can't reliably tell the host from the path.
  • Confusing the query string with the full URL — the query string is only the part after the "?".

Best practices

  • Always include the full scheme (http:// or https://) when parsing a URL for the most reliable results.

Tips

  • If you're debugging a UTM tracking link, this tool is a quick way to see every parameter (utm_source, utm_medium, etc.) without manually counting ampersands.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, with no signup and no limit on how many URLs you parse.
The query string is the raw text after the "?" (like "foo=bar&baz=qux"), while query parameters are that string split into individual key-value pairs ("foo" = "bar", "baz" = "qux").
The fragment is the part after "#", often used to jump to a specific section of a page or, in some web apps, to store client-side routing state.
It works best with a full URL including the scheme (like https://) — without one, some parts may not parse as expected.
