Overview

About HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder


The QuickToolz HTML Entity Encoder &amp; Decoder converts text to and from HTML entities — replacing reserved characters like &lt;, &gt;, &amp;, &quot;, and &#39; with their entity equivalents (&amp;lt;, &amp;gt;, &amp;amp;, &amp;quot;, &amp;#39;) so they render safely in HTML, XML, or templating engines.

When you need HTML entity encoding

  • Displaying user input in HTML without breaking the page

  • Writing HTML/XML snippets inside &lt;pre&gt; or code blocks

  • Preventing XSS by escaping &lt;script&gt; tags as text

  • Converting non-ASCII characters to numeric entities (&amp;#x2014;) for legacy compatibility

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder.

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Common questions about HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder.


At minimum: &lt;, &gt;, &amp;, &quot;, and &#39;. Optionally all non-ASCII characters are converted to numeric entities.

Encoding user input before insertion as HTML prevents the most common XSS vector. Always pair with proper output context (HTML vs attribute vs JS) and a strong CSP.

Numeric entities work in every parser. Named entities are more readable but only some are universally supported.

Pick direction

Encode (text → entities) or decode (entities → text).
