HTML Encoder / Decoder
Escape HTML special characters or decode HTML entities.
What this tool is for
HTML Encoder / Decoder helps you escape HTML special characters or convert safe entities back to text. Processing happens in the current browser session, so the normal workflow does not require uploading the text to BiNotePads.
How to use HTML Encoder / Decoder
- Enter or paste the source data and keep an untouched copy when the order or formatting matters.
- Choose the available options, then select Process.
- Review the entire result before copying, downloading, publishing or importing it elsewhere.
Practical example
Encode a code sample so angle brackets display as text instead of markup. This makes the output easy to compare with the source before you continue.
Common uses
- Displaying code examples
- Checking CMS output
- Debugging escaped content
Limits and accuracy
Entity encoding alone is not a complete sanitizer for untrusted HTML. Keep the original text, verify important results and use a specialized application when a task carries legal, security, financial or production risk.
Privacy and safety
This tool is intended for ordinary text and development samples. Do not paste passwords, authentication tokens, private keys, payment information, medical records or confidential client data into a general-purpose web page. Closing or refreshing the page can remove unsaved input.
Frequently asked questions
Does HTML Encoder / Decoder upload my text?
No. The tool is designed to process input in your browser. Avoid pasting passwords, private keys or highly sensitive records into any ordinary web tool.
Can I use the result commercially?
You can use the transformed text in your own work, but you remain responsible for checking accuracy, rights, formatting and any platform-specific requirements.
Why can the result differ from another application?
Entity encoding alone is not a complete sanitizer for untrusted HTML. Different applications can use different parsing, language and encoding rules.
