Guide & Explanations
Online HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder
The HTML Entity Encoder and Decoder is an essential tool for web developers and content writers. It allows you to transform special characters into web-safe character sequences, ensuring your HTML code displays correctly without being interpreted by the browser.
Why use HTML entities?
Certain characters have special meanings in HTML (like < and >). To display them literally, you must use entities (like < and >). This also prevents XSS security vulnerabilities by neutralizing potentially malicious tags.
Tool Features
- 3 Encoding formats: Named (
&), Decimal (&), and Hexadecimal (&). - 3 Encoding scopes: Special characters only, all non-ASCII characters (accents, symbols), or extensive encoding (every single character).
- Smart decoding: Converts all HTML entities (named or numerical) back into plain text.
- User-friendly interface: Real-time preview, conversion statistics, and built-in dark mode.
- Secure and fast: All processing happens locally in your browser.
