🔤 HTML Entity Encoder
Encode or decode HTML entities.
How to Use the HTML Entity Encoder
HTML entities are special codes that represent reserved characters in HTML. This tool converts characters like <, >, &, and quotes into their entity equivalents (<, >, &, etc.) and vice versa.
Why Encode HTML?
Encoding is essential when displaying code snippets on web pages, preventing browsers from interpreting HTML tags as actual markup. It's also crucial for preventing XSS attacks by escaping user input.
How to Encode
- Enter your text or code in the input field
- Click "Encode" to convert special characters to HTML entities
- Copy the encoded output for use in your HTML
How to Decode
- Paste HTML-encoded text into the input
- Click "Decode" to convert entities back to characters
- Review the decoded plain text
Common Entities
- < → Less than (<)
- > → Greater than (>)
- & → Ampersand (&)
- " → Double quote (")
