HTML encoding is the process of converting special characters used in HTML into their corresponding HTML entities. This is crucial for preventing browsers from misinterpreting these characters as HTML code, ensuring that they are displayed correctly as text.

Our free online HTML encoder tool makes this process simple and efficient. Whether you need to encode special characters like <, >, &, ", or ', our tool can handle it instantly.

HTML decoding is the reverse process of converting HTML entities back to their original characters. This is useful when you have text containing HTML entities that you want to display as normal text.

Our free online HTML decoder tool allows you to easily convert entities like <, >, &, ", and ' back to their original forms. Simply paste the encoded text and let our tool do the rest.
