Free HTML Encoder / Decoder Online

This is especially useful when displaying user-generated or special text inside an HTML page without it being misinterpreted as markup. Everything happens locally in your browser - no data is sent anywhere.

How to Use the HTML Encoder / Decoder

1. Paste the text or markup you want to convert into the input box
2. Select encode to turn special characters into HTML entities, or decode to turn entities back into plain text
3. Review the converted output shown immediately below
4. Copy the result and paste it into your HTML template, CMS field, or source code

Developers building comment sections, forums, or any feature that echoes user input back into a page use the encoder to neutralize characters that could otherwise be interpreted as HTML tags. Technical writers documenting HTML or code examples use it to display angle brackets and ampersands literally instead of having the browser render them as markup. Anyone who has pasted a snippet full of escaped entity codes and needed the original readable text back uses the decoder to reverse it instantly. Because the conversion happens entirely client-side, it's a safe way to handle text that may include sensitive or user-submitted content.
