HTML Entity Encode
π Welcome to the HTML Entity Encoder Tool
In the world of web development, handling special characters correctly is crucial for both security and usability. That's where the HTML Entity Encoder comes into play. This powerful tool allows you to convert characters such as <, >, &, ", and ' into their HTML-safe representations (<, >, &, ", and ', respectively), ensuring that your HTML or XML code behaves correctly in browsers and remains secure against common vulnerabilities such as HTML injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
π‘ Why Use an HTML Entity Encoder?
Special characters often have reserved meanings in HTML. For example:
- < and > are used to define tags
- & is used to begin an entity
- " and ' are used to wrap attributes
Embedding these characters directly in HTML can break the layout or even expose your site to malicious code. Thatβs why converting them into their entity equivalents is essential when inserting dynamic data or user input into HTML code.

π How It Works:
Just type or paste the text containing special characters into the input area of the tool, and the HTML Entity Encoder will instantly return the encoded version. For example:
- Input: 5 < 10 & 15 > 10
- Output: 5 < 10 & 15 > 10
This output can be safely embedded in HTML without causing rendering problems.
