HTML Encoder/Decoder

Escape special characters for safe use in HTML code or decode entities back to plain text.

Why Encode HTML?

HTML encoding replaces reserved characters with their corresponding entities to prevent the browser from interpreting them as HTML markup. This is critical for:

• Security (XSS Prevention): Stopping encoded scripts from executing if they are injected into your page.
• Displaying Code: If you want to show a code snippet like <h1> on your page, you must write it as <h1>.

Common HTML Entities

• < (Less Than) → <
• > (Greater Than) → >
• & (Ampersand) → &
• " (Double Quote) → "
• ' (Single Quote) → '
