Paste HTML content to encode special characters into HTML entities (< becomes <, > becomes >, & becomes &). Or paste encoded HTML to decode it back to readable characters. Handles the full HTML5 entity set.

Why use this tool?

Required when embedding user-generated content in HTML to prevent XSS (cross-site scripting) attacks. Also used when displaying raw HTML code in blog posts and documentation without the browser rendering it.
