Frequently asked questions

Which characters are escaped?
The five characters with special meaning in HTML: & becomes &amp;, < becomes &lt;, > becomes &gt;, double quote becomes &quot; and single quote becomes &#39;. That's exactly what's needed to display code inside a web page.
Why escape HTML at all?
Unescaped < and > are parsed as tags — your code sample disappears or breaks the page layout. Escaping also prevents injected markup (XSS) when displaying user-supplied text.
Is anything uploaded?
No. This tool runs locally in your browser. The text or numbers you enter are not sent to a server, logged, or stored.

When to use HTML Entity Encoder

Small utilities are valuable because they remove tiny pieces of repeated work. A focused tool is faster than opening a heavyweight app, safer than uploading private data to an unknown service, and easier to trust because the result is visible immediately.
