HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder

Convert raw code tags into safe escaped HTML entities, or decode escaped entities back to original code tags.

Escaped HTML Entities Output

What are HTML Character Entities?

Escaping Reserved Characters

In HTML, characters like < and > are reserved because they denote start and end delimiters of tag elements. If you paste raw HTML codes inside a web page block, browser engines try to parse them rather than displaying the raw characters. Character entities (e.g. &lt; for <, &gt; for >, and &amp; for &) allow programmers to safely display raw code blocks.

Browser-Side Security

Our conversion scripts execute directly in your browser's execution threads. Characters are encoded by converting each character index to entity arrays or numeric decimal character references, keeping text payloads completely private.

Frequently Asked Questions

View All Platform FAQs
Why do special characters need to be encoded in HTML?

Encoding characters like `<` into `&lt;` prevents the browser from interpreting user input as active HTML tags, protecting against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.

Is this conversion safe for server templates?

Yes. Converting input to standard HTML entities ensures safe rendering inside HTML templates, React components, and Vue templates.
