About this Tool

The HTML Entities Escaper is a critical developer utility that converts reserved HTML characters (like <, >, and &) into safe string entities. This allows you to display code snippets on a webpage without the browser accidentally executing them.

By toggling into Decode Mode, you can also reverse the process, turning an unreadable block of encoded entities back into raw, readable HTML. This process happens instantly and entirely within your local browser, meaning your proprietary code is never sent to a remote server.

How to Use

Input your Code

Paste your raw HTML, script tags, or text block into the Original Content panel.

Select Processing Mode

Use the toggle switch on the right panel to choose whether you want to Encode (make safe) or Decode (revert to raw code) the input.

Copy the Safe String

Click the 'Copy Result' button to instantly grab the converted output and paste it directly into your CMS or codebase.
