HTML entity encoder and decoder
Encode special characters to HTML entities, or decode entities back to text. Decoding uses a safe textarea path so untrusted strings are not executed as scripts.
Enter text to convert.
How to use
Choose encode or decode, paste markup or text, and copy the result.
Questions
- Which characters are encoded?
- &, <, >, ", and ' are escaped on encode. Decode also understands numeric &#…; and &#x…; entities.
- Is decode safe for untrusted input?
- Yes. Decoding does not run scripts; it only turns entities into text.
