About this tool
Encode text into HTML entities so characters like <, > and & display safely, or decode entities back into plain text. It handles both named and numeric entities, entirely in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
When should I encode HTML entities?
Encode when you need characters like <, >, & or quotes to appear as literal text in HTML without the browser treating them as markup — useful for code samples and user-generated content.
Is my input sent anywhere?
No. Encoding and decoding happen entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
