FAQ
Why would I encode HTML entities?
Encoding prevents special characters like angle brackets and ampersands from being interpreted as live markup in HTML contexts.
Can I decode escaped HTML too?
Yes. The same tool can turn common entity sequences back into readable characters.
How it works
Convert reserved HTML characters safely for documentation, CMS fields, and snippet sharing. The result is produced immediately so you can review it before copying or using it elsewhere.
Privacy
The tool is designed to process ordinary input in your browser. Avoid pasting passwords, private keys, access tokens, personal records, or other sensitive production data into any online utility.
Limitations
