Punycode Converter

Convert between Unicode domain names and Punycode (xn--) encoding. Supports internationalized domain names (IDN) with full encoding and decoding.

How to Use Punycode Converter

The Punycode Converter transforms Unicode domain names to their Punycode (xn--) representation and vice versa. Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) use non-ASCII characters like accented letters, Chinese, Arabic, or Cyrillic characters. DNS only supports ASCII, so these domains are encoded using Punycode. Enter a Unicode domain (like münchen.de or 日本語.jp) to get the Punycode version, or enter a Punycode domain (like xn--mnchen-3ya.de) to decode it back to Unicode. Essential for web developers, DNS administrators, and anyone working with international domain names.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Select conversion direction (Unicode to Punycode or Punycode to Unicode)
  2. Enter the domain name in the input field
  3. Click Convert to perform the conversion
  4. Copy the result using the copy button
