Frequently Asked Questions

What does an HTML entities encoder do?

It converts special characters like <, >, &, and quotes into their safe HTML entity equivalents (e.g. &lt;, &amp;) so they display correctly instead of being interpreted as HTML.

Can it decode entities back to plain text too?

Yes — switch to Decode mode to convert HTML entities like &amp; and &lt; back into their original characters.

Is this tool safe to use with sensitive data?

Yes — encoding and decoding both happen entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server.
