About HTML Entity Converter

Convert between plain text and HTML entities—for example, encode <script> as &lt;script&gt;, or decode &amp; back to &. Use it to inspect escaped snippets in templates, rich text, and API payloads.

Entity encoding represents characters safely; it is not a complete HTML sanitization or XSS defense. User content still needs context-aware escaping and sanitization before it is rendered.

How HTML Entity Converter works

Entity names and numeric references appear in source files, CMS exports, and API payloads. Seeing the conversion in one place makes it easier to confirm which characters a browser will ultimately read.

Keep HTML text, attributes, URLs, and JavaScript strings separate: each context has different safe-handling rules.
