FAQ
Why encode HTML entities?
Encoding reserved characters lets you display markup or special characters as text instead of having a browser interpret them as HTML.
What characters are encoded?
The encoder handles ampersands, angle brackets, double quotes, and apostrophes—the characters most commonly reserved in HTML.
Does this tool send text anywhere?
No. Encoding and decoding happen locally in your browser.
