HTML Encoder / Decoder
Safely encode or decode special HTML characters for secure web usage
About HTML Encoder/Decoder
Ever tried adding special characters like < or & into your website and suddenly your layout goes haywire? Yup—HTML can be a bit picky like that. That’s why we built this HTML Encoder/Decoder tool: to make sure your code stays clean and your content shows up just the way you want it to.
This tool helps you convert special characters into safe HTML code (encoding), and also turn that code back into normal text (decoding) whenever you need.
Here’s what you can do with it:
Encode symbols like <, >, &, and ” so they don’t break your HTML
Decode HTML entities back into normal, readable text
Keep user input, content, and code safe on your site
Get instant results—just paste, click, and done
Whether you’re a developer, blogger, or just editing some web content, this tool takes the headache out of handling special characters.
When to Use the HTML Encoder/Decoder
Not sure if you need to encode or decode? Here are some everyday situations where this tool really comes in handy:
Showing code snippets on a webpage:Want to display HTML code like <div> instead of having it render? Just encode it so it shows up as text, not actual HTML.
Handling user comments or messages:If someone types symbols like < or & in a form and you display that directly in HTML, it might break your layout. Encoding it keeps everything safe.
Copying & pasting content from other sources:Grabbed some text with quotes or special characters? Run it through the encoder to clean it up before adding it to your site.
Decoding weird-looking text:Seeing something like <h1>Hello</h1>? Use the decoder to turn it back into readable HTML code: <h1>Hello</h1>.
Quick Tip: If you’re ever unsure whether something should be encoded, ask yourself: “Do I want this to show as code, or work as code?” If it should show, encode it. If it should work, don’t.
