How to Use the HTML Entity Encoder/Decoder
Select "Encode" to convert special characters in your text into their HTML entity equivalents. Select "Decode" to convert HTML entities back into readable characters. The tool handles both named entities (like &) and numeric entities (like &).
Why Encode HTML Entities?
- Prevent XSS attacks — encoding user input stops malicious script injection
- Display special characters — show <, >, & correctly in HTML pages
- Preserve formatting — ensure characters render as intended across browsers
- Email templates — safely embed special characters in HTML emails
Supported Entity Types
Named entities use a readable keyword like & for the ampersand. Numeric entities use a Unicode code point like &. This tool supports encoding to both formats and decoding from either.
