How to use HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder
- Paste text or entity references.
- Choose Encode or Decode.
- Convert and copy the plain-text result.
Encoding and preview behavior
Encoding replaces ampersands, angle brackets and quotes with entity references. Decoding performs one HTML-entity decoding pass while retaining literal markup as text. The result is displayed in a textarea, not executed as HTML.
Entity encoding is not a universal sanitizer for JavaScript, CSS or URL contexts. Nested encoding may need separate, deliberate decoding passes.

What limitations should I know?
