How It Works

HTML entities are special codes used to represent characters that have special meaning in HTML or are not easily typeable. This tool helps you escape and unescape these entities instantly.

Escaping: Converts special characters to their HTML entity equivalents (e.g., < becomes &lt;)

Unescaping: Converts HTML entities back to regular characters (e.g., &lt; becomes <)

Supported Entities:

  • Named entities (&amp;, &lt;, &gt;, etc.)
  • Numeric decimal entities (&#39;)
  • Hexadecimal entities (&#x27;)
