About

The HTML Entity Encode/Decode tool helps you safely escape and unescape characters used in HTML. Encoding converts special characters—such as <, >, &, quotes, and others—into their entity equivalents so they can be displayed on webpages without breaking the layout or introducing security issues. Decoding reverses this process, turning entities back into normal readable text. This tool is essential for web developers, content editors, programmers, and anyone who needs to sanitize user input or debug HTML. It prevents common issues like broken HTML structure, rendering glitches, and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities by ensuring that special characters are handled correctly. Everything runs entirely in your browser, so it’s safe to use with sensitive content. With support for both common and extended HTML entities, as well as Unicode characters, this encoder/decoder provides a reliable way to prepare text for web environments. It’s ideal for troubleshooting, formatting code snippets, and ensuring safe text display across different platforms.
