HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder 

 When you display user text inside an HTML page, characters like <, > and & can be misread as tags or entities — breaking the layout or opening XSS risks. Converting them to HTML entities (e.g. < becomes &lt;) keeps the text literal and safe. This free HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder escapes and unescapes those characters instantly in your browser. 
 How to use it 
  1. Choose Encode (text → entities) or Decode (entities → text).
  2. Paste your content — the result updates instantly.
  3. Copy the output into your HTML, template or CMS.
 Why use this tool 
  • Handles the five HTML-significant characters and numeric entities.
  • Two-way, instant conversion with one-click copy.
  • Private and free — runs entirely in your browser.
FAQ
Which characters get encoded?
 The HTML-significant ones: & < > " and '. Encoding them prevents your text from being interpreted as markup. 
Does decoding handle named and numeric entities?
 Yes — it decodes named entities like &amp; and numeric ones like &#39; back to their characters. 
Is it safe and private?
 Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
