Why Encode HTML?

Security (XSS Prevention)

Prevents malicious scripts from being injected
Converts <script> to <script>
Essential for any application displaying user input

Proper Display

Ensure special characters (&, <, >) are rendered correctly
Maintain formatting in documentation and blogs

How It Works

Our HTML encoder converts special characters to their corresponding HTML entities based on your chosen settings:

Choose Encoding Parameters

Select the HTML version (HTML5/HTML4/XML), the mode (which characters to encode), and whether to use hexadecimal numbers.

Scan Input Text

The tool scans your text for characters that need escaping (e.g., < becomes <).

Output Encoded HTML

The result is a string safe for embedding in HTML, with all special characters replaced by entities.
