HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder

What is an HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder?

An HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder transforms reserved characters into safe HTML entities (such as converting `<` to `<` and `&` to `&`). Escaping these characters prevents browsers from executing user input as code, neutralizing Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) risks and ensuring clean code display on web pages.

How to Use the HTML Entity Converter

1. Input Text: Paste raw HTML snippets or encoded entities into the input box.
2. Select Action: Click "Encode to HTML Entities" to sanitize reserved tags, or "Decode HTML Entities" to revert entities back to standard characters.
3. Copy Result: Click "Copy Output Code" to copy the safe output directly to your clipboard.
