HTML Entity Encoder

Encode special characters to HTML entities and decode entities back to plain text.

HTML Entity Encoder converts characters that have special meaning in HTML — ampersands, angle brackets, quotes, and slashes — into their safe entity equivalents, and decodes entity strings back into readable text. This is essential for safely rendering user-generated content in web pages, pasting code samples into blog posts, embedding strings in HTML attributes, and debugging double-encoded pages. Frontend developers use it to safely inject dynamic strings into innerHTML without XSS risk. Technical writers use it to include code samples in HTML documentation. QA engineers use it to test how applications handle special character input. The encoder follows the HTML specification so the output is interchangeable with what server-side frameworks produce.
