What is HTML Escape / Unescape?

Escape HTML special characters into entities or unescape entities back into raw HTML text.

How it works

SiteIndex converts reserved characters such as <, >, &, and quotes into their HTML entity equivalents, or reverses the process to decode entities back into readable text, entirely in your browser.

Where a network request is required, SiteIndex validates public HTTP/HTTPS targets before making the request.

Common uses

Safely embed user-generated text inside HTML without breaking markup.
Decode HTML entities copied from a web page or API response.
Prepare text snippets for safe inclusion in templates or emails.

Limitations

Results depend on the browser, network, input, and external service involved.
