About HTML Encoding and Decoding

HTML encoding (also known as HTML escaping) is the process of converting special characters into their corresponding HTML entities. This is essential for displaying HTML code safely in web pages and preventing security vulnerabilities like XSS attacks.

Common characters that need encoding include angle brackets (< >), ampersands (&), quotes (" '), and various special symbols. Our tool handles both named entities (&lt;) and numeric entities (&#60;).

Whether you're displaying code examples, preparing email templates, or ensuring data security, our HTML encoder/decoder provides reliable conversion between plain text and HTML entities.
