About this tool

Encode and decode HTML entities. Convert special characters to HTML entities and back. Perfect for displaying code safely in HTML. HTML Encoder/Decoder runs in the browser on DevTools. There is no signup, and your input stays on this device unless the tool explicitly performs a live network lookup.

What this tool does not do

  • HTML Encoder/Decoder is a free in-browser utility, not a hosted API. It does not keep server-side history and is not a substitute for production verification in your own stack.

How do I use this tool?

  1. How do I use HTML Encoder/Decoder?

    Open HTML Encoder/Decoder, enter or paste your input, and copy the result. The page works without an account.
