What are HTML Entities?

In HTML, certain characters are reserved and cannot be written directly into the code without breaking the syntax. For example, if you want to display a mathematical less than sign (<), the browser might mistakenly interpret it as the start of a new HTML tag.

To safely display these reserved characters, developers must convert them into HTML Entities. Our HTML Entity Encoder/Decoder instantly converts these special characters (like ampersands, quotes, and brackets) into their corresponding safe entity codes (e.g., &amp; or &lt;), preventing Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities and layout breaks.
