HTML Escape

Escape or unescape special characters in HTML entities.

What is HTML Escape?

To prevent XSS attacks and ensure proper rendering, certain characters (like <, >, and &) must be converted into HTML entities. Our tool provides a two-way conversion, allowing you to both escape raw text for safe inclusion in HTML and unescape existing entities back into their original characters.

When to use HTML Escape?

Preparing user-generated content for safe HTML display
Decoding escaped text found in source code or data logs
Preventing Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in local testing
