HTML Encoder
Encode special characters to HTML entities
What is HTML Encoder?
HTML Encoder converts special characters to their HTML entity equivalents (e.g., < to <), preventing them from being interpreted as HTML markup.
When to use this tool
- Safely displaying user input in HTML pages (XSS prevention)
- Encoding text for inclusion in HTML emails
- Preserving literal characters in HTML code snippets
- Storing user-generated content that may contain HTML
How it works
Replaces characters with their named entities (< → <, > → >, & → &, " → ", ' → ') or numeric entities for characters without standard names.
