Frequently asked questions
How do I escape HTML in text?
Paste the text and click Encode — &, <, > and quotes become &amp;, &lt;, &gt; and &quot;, so it renders safely inside HTML.
How do I decode HTML entities?
Paste the encoded text and click Decode. Named entities (like &copy;) and numeric ones (like &#169;) are converted back to characters.
What does 'Encode all non-ASCII' do?
It converts every character above code point 127 to a numeric entity, so your text survives in encodings or contexts that only support ASCII.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No — encoding and decoding happen entirely in your browser.
