How to use HTML entity encoder & decoder
Escape markup characters or decode numeric references and six common named entities as plain text.
- Choose your input type and options. Try the clearly labelled sample first.
- Up to 1 MiB of UTF-8 input and 4 MiB of output. Runs locally after you choose the action.
- Output is plain text. Decoder supports decimal/hex references and amp, lt, gt, quot, apos, nbsp with semicolons; other named entities are rejected. This is not an HTML sanitizer.
- Choose the action to process locally, review the text result, then copy or download it. Editing or clearing the input discards the old result. Cancel stops the worker; leaving the page clears working data. No input or result is uploaded or stored by this tool.
