HTML Entity Encoder
Encode special HTML characters to HTML entities. Characters like <, >, &, and " are replaced with their entity equivalents (<, >, &, "). Essential for preventing XSS attacks and safely displaying user-provided text in HTML. HTML Entity is an encoding, not encryption - it provides no confidentiality. Anyone can decode it trivially. Use it for data transport or format compatibility, never for secrets. Everything runs in your browser.
Privacy: this tool processes your data entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste or type is sent to the server.

Frequently asked questions
Is HTML Entity the same as encryption?
No. HTML Entity is an encoding - a reversible transformation that anyone can undo. Encryption requires a key to reverse. Never use encoding to protect sensitive data.
Why does my decoded output look wrong?
Common causes: (1) the input was encoded with a different character set, (2) the input has extra whitespace or line breaks, (3) the input is corrupted. Try trimming whitespace and verifying the source.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Encoding and decoding happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.
