Escape HTML Entities Online for Free

Paste text and encode characters such as ampersands and angle brackets for use as HTML text. Review the receiving context before copying the result, because entity escaping alone is not a complete sanitizer for arbitrary HTML content.

Decode HTML Entity Text for Free

Enter text containing HTML entities and decode them to their ordinary character form. Inspect the output before reuse, especially when decoded angle brackets or quotes will be placed into a markup field rather than displayed as plain text.

Encode Ampersands and Quotes for Free

Convert literal ampersands and quotation marks to their entity forms when preparing HTML text values. Check that the receiving application expects this encoding and avoid applying it repeatedly, which can leave visible entity notation in the displayed result.
