Validate URL
Enter an absolute URL, or a host that can be interpreted with https://, to check its format and inspect its parts.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter a URL up to 10,000 characters.
- Choose Validate URL to parse it locally.
- Review the protocol, host, port, path, query, and fragment when the syntax is valid.
Syntax and structure only
This tool uses the browser WHATWG URL parser. It checks URL formatting and displays parsed components; it never opens, fetches, resolves, or sends the address anywhere.
Accepted schemes and input
Absolute URLs may use http, https, ftp, mailto, file, or tel. A host without a scheme may be interpreted with https:// and is marked with a warning. Relative paths and unsupported schemes are rejected.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Does validation check whether the URL works?
No. It checks syntax and structure only. It does not test reachability, a page, a certificate, DNS, or server response.
Can I enter example.com without a scheme?
Yes. The tool tries https://example.com and tells you that https:// was assumed.
Are relative paths accepted?
No. Enter an absolute URL or a host that can be prefixed with https://.
