FAQ
Why do I need to convert characters to HTML entities?
Characters like <, >, and & are interpreted as part of an HTML tag, so they need to be converted to entities if you want them to display as literal text.
Can I use this to post code on a blog?
Yes โ if a code snippet would break your HTML when embedded directly, converting it to entities first lets it display correctly.
Does it convert Japanese characters too?
This tool mainly targets characters with special meaning in HTML, like <, >, &, and quotes. Japanese text itself is left as-is.
What happens when I decode?
It converts entity notation like < and & back into the original < and & characters.
Is my input sent to a server?
No, conversion happens entirely in your browser and nothing is sent externally.
