Common mistakes
A full URL is pasted instead of just the raw query string
Fix: Paste only the parameter part or use a full-URL tool if you need URL-aware cleanup.
The user expects percent-decoding
Fix: This tool cleans separators and structure. Use a decoder if you need readable decoded values.
The string contains duplicate keys that should stay
Fix: This tool keeps parameter order and values. It only cleans structure noise.
