About HTML Entity Encoder
HTML Entity Encoder converts special characters to their HTML entity equivalents and vice versa. HTML entities prevent browsers from misinterpreting characters like <, >, &, and " as markup, which is critical for preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
Use it to safely embed user-provided text in HTML, to encode special characters before inserting into email templates, or to decode entities in scraped HTML for text processing. The reference table provides a comprehensive list of all named HTML entities — useful when writing HTML directly and you need the entity name for a special symbol like ©, —, or →.
All encoding and decoding runs locally in your browser.
