HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder

Why use Tabreon for this?

• Encoding and decoding both happen entirely in your browser — nothing you paste is sent to a server.
• Encodes every reserved character (<, >, &, ", ') safely, not just the most common ones.
• No account, no daily limit, and no character cap.

How to encode or decode HTML entities

1. 1Paste your input. Enter the text you want to encode, or the HTML-entity string you want to decode.
2. 2Choose Encode or Decode. Click the matching button to run the conversion.
3. 3Copy or download the result. Copy the output directly, or download it as a file.

What is HTML entity encoding?

HTML entity encoding replaces characters that have special meaning in HTML (<, >, &, quotes) with a safe textual representation (like &lt; or &amp;), so that text can be embedded inside an HTML document without being misinterpreted as markup. Decoding reverses the process, turning entities back into the literal characters they represent.

How Tabreon handles your data

Encoding and decoding both run in your browser's JavaScript engine using the he library — the text you paste is never sent to a server.

Key features

• Encodes all reserved HTML characters, not just the common ones
• Full round-trip decoding, including named and numeric entities
• Copy-to-clipboard and file download
• No account, no daily limit, and no character cap

Common use cases

• Safely embedding user-submitted text inside a static HTML page
• Decoding entity-encoded text copied from a web page's source view
• Preparing a code snippet containing < and > for inclusion in an HTML document

Common mistakes & limitations

• This encodes/decodes text, not full HTML documents — it does not parse or sanitize markup structure.
• Decoding untrusted entity-encoded text produces plain text output only; it is never rendered into a page by this tool, so there is no XSS risk from using it.
