Encode and decode HTML entities
HTML Entity Encoder Decoder converts characters such as <, >, &, quotes, and copyright symbols into safe entity strings or restores entities back to readable text. Use it before pasting button labels, attribute values, code examples, or CMS content.
Useful For
- Display HTML code examples safely
- Encode quotes and ampersands inside attributes
- Decode entities such as ©, , and '
Good To Know
Custom HTML and text are not included in shared links. Example links store only the selected sample name and mode.

Generated code, regexes, meta tags, and config snippets should be treated as drafts and tested again in your runtime, security policy, and deployment environment.
