About HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder
HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder is a browser-based developer utility for safely converting special characters into HTML entities and turning encoded markup back into readable text. Choose Encode when text containing ampersands, angle brackets, quotation marks or apostrophes needs to be displayed literally in HTML without being interpreted as markup. Choose Decode when copied content contains named or numeric entities such as &, <, ' or Unicode character references. Conversion updates live as you type, which makes the page convenient for code examples, documentation, CMS content, email templates, support messages and debugging escaped API values. The output stays in a separate read-only field so the original input remains available for comparison. Decoding uses the browser’s own HTML parser, while encoding applies safe entity replacements without executing the entered markup. All processing takes place locally with JavaScript. Toolexa does not upload, transmit or permanently store your text. The responsive interface includes a clear mode selector, copy button, character count feedback and a reset control for repeated work. It is designed for quick text snippets and longer blocks that need dependable escaping or readable decoding.
