The HTML Entities Encoder/Decoder is a powerful utility designed for developers, content editors, and security-focused teams who need precise control over encoding and decoding HTML entities. Supporting named, numeric, and hexadecimal entity formats, the tool ensures accurate representation of special characters, Unicode symbols, HTML-sensitive characters, and multilingual text. With advanced features such as selective encoding, skip-encoded protection, smart quote handling, full ASCII+Unicode coverage, and a fast decoding engine with browser-grade fallback, this tool prevents HTML injection issues, broken markup, rendering errors, and data loss caused by incorrectly processed entities. Whether you're sanitizing user-generated content, preparing text for CMS systems, working with APIs, or debugging corrupted HTML, this tool delivers reliable, standards-compliant, and high-fidelity text transformation.

Primary Use Cases

  • Sanitizing user-generated content before inserting it into HTML pages or CMS editors.

  • Decoding and repairing broken or inconsistently encoded text received from APIs or databases.
  • Cleaning or normalizing legacy content exported from CMS systems, emails, XML files, or old blogs.
