HTML Encoder & Decoder Tool

Convert special characters to HTML entities and decode HTML entities back to plain text. Essential for displaying user-generated content safely on web pages and preventing XSS attacks.

What is HTML Encoding?

HTML encoding converts special characters into HTML entities. For example, < becomes < and & becomes &. This prevents browsers from interpreting these characters as HTML code.

Common HTML Entities

  • < - Less than sign (&lt;)
  • > - Greater than sign (&gt;)
  • & - Ampersand (&amp;)
  • " - Double quote (&quot;)
  • ' - Single quote/apostrophe (&apos;)
  •   - Non-breaking space (&nbsp;)

Use Cases

  • Security - Prevent XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks by encoding user input
  • Display Code - Show HTML code snippets on web pages
  • Email Templates - Safely include special characters in HTML emails
  • XML/RSS Feeds - Encode special characters for valid XML
  • Database Storage - Store HTML entities instead of raw HTML

How to Use

  1. Encode - Paste your text with special characters and click "Encode" to convert them to HTML entities
  2. Decode - Paste HTML entities and click "Decode" to convert them back to plain text
  3. Copy the result to your clipboard

All encoding and decoding happens instantly in your browser - no data is sent to our servers.
