HTML Entity Encoder/Decoder

Why encode HTML entities?

Browsers interpret characters like < and > as HTML tags. If you want to display a code snippet on your website (e.g., <div>), you must "escape" these characters so the browser renders them as text, not code.

How it works

This tool converts reserved characters into their HTML Entity equivalents.

• < becomes &lt;
• > becomes &gt;
• & becomes &amp;
• " becomes &quot;
