HTML Entity Encoder

Runs in your browser — your data is never uploaded.

Escape text for safe inclusion in HTML — converting <, >, & and quote characters to their named entities. An “encode everything” mode also numeric-encodes every non-ASCII character, useful for legacy-encoding-safe output. Runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Which characters does “basic” mode escape?+

The five characters that are unsafe to leave raw in HTML: < > & " and ' — encoded as <, >, &, " and ' respectively.

What does “encode all” do differently?+

In addition to the basic five, every character above code point 127 (accents, symbols, emoji, non-Latin scripts) is also converted to a numeric character reference like é.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?+

No. Encoding runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
