Encode HTML special characters to entities or decode them back to their original form.

About the Online HTML Encoder / Decoder

Our free Online HTML Encoder / Decoder is an essential tool for web developers, content managers, and anyone dealing with HTML code. This tool helps you convert special HTML characters (like `<`, `>`, `&`, `"`, `'`) into their corresponding HTML entities (e.g., `<`, `>`, `&`, `"`, `'`). This is crucial when you need to display HTML code as plain text on a webpage without the browser interpreting it as actual HTML. Conversely, you can decode these entities back to their original characters.

Why Use an HTML Encoder/Decoder?

  • **Displaying Code:** Safely embed code snippets in tutorials, blogs, or documentation without breaking the page layout.
  • **Security:** Sanitize user-generated content to prevent XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks by encoding potentially malicious characters.
  • **Compatibility:** Ensure your text is rendered correctly across different browsers and platforms, especially when dealing with special symbols.
  • **Debugging:** Quickly inspect the raw, encoded form of HTML content.

How to Use Our HTML Encoder / Decoder:

  1. **Step 1: Enter Your Text.** Paste or type the HTML code or plain text you wish to encode or decode into the "Enter HTML or Plain Text" area.
  2. **Step 2: Choose Action.** Click "Encode HTML" to convert special characters to entities, or "Decode HTML" to revert entities back to characters.
  3. **Step 3: Copy Output.** The result will appear in the "Output" area. Click "Copy Output" to quickly copy the transformed text to your clipboard.
  4. **Step 4: Clear All (Optional).** Use the "Clear All" button to reset both input and output fields.
