HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder

Encode plain text to HTML entities?, or decode entities back to readable text. Named and numeric entities? both supported. Everything runs in your browser.

When would I use this?

Ever pasted text into a website editor or newsletter tool and seen odd codes like & or — where your words should be? Those are stand-in codes web pages use for certain characters — and this page translates in both directions.

Paste the garbled version and decode it to see what it really says, or encode your own text so symbols like & and < display safely on a web page instead of being mistaken for code. Everything happens on your computer.
