How to use HTML Encoder / Decoder

Paste your HTML content into the input field

Click the large text area labeled 'Input' on the left side of the tool. Paste your HTML code or text containing special characters that you want to encode or decode. You can paste up to 1MB of content.

Select encode or decode mode using the toggle button

Click the 'Encode' or 'Decode' button located above the input field. The button will highlight to show your active selection. Encoding converts special characters to HTML entities (e.g., & becomes &). Decoding reverses this process.

The conversion happens automatically and displays instantly in the 'Output' text area on the right side. Your converted HTML will appear character-for-character with all entities properly transformed.

Click the 'Copy to Clipboard' button below the output area. A confirmation message will appear showing the content has been copied. Paste the result into your code editor, email, or document using Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac).
