What is a HTML-Entity-Encoder?

Converts the five characters HTML treats specially — &, <, >, ", ' — into their entity equivalents (&amp;, &lt;, and so on), so the text displays as literal characters instead of being interpreted as markup when pasted into an HTML document.

How to use the HTML-Entity-Encoder

  1. Paste text or markup
  2. Reserved HTML characters are converted to entities instantly, on your device
  3. Copy the encoded result

Example

<div class="card">Tom & Jerry's Show</div> becomes &lt;div class=&quot;card&quot;&gt;Tom &amp; Jerry&#39;s Show&lt;/div&gt; — safe to drop into an HTML page as visible text.

Frequently asked questions

Why would I need to encode HTML entities?

Any time you want a character like < or & to display as a literal character on a web page instead of being interpreted as the start of a tag or entity — for example, showing a code snippet or a "5 < 10" comparison in body text.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No — HTML-Entity-Encoder runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript/WebAssembly. Your text is never sent to a server.

Does this encode every character, or just the reserved HTML ones?

Just the reserved ones — &, <, >, \", and ' — that can be misinterpreted as markup. Ordinary letters, numbers, and punctuation like commas or periods are left as plain text.
