HTML Entity Converter
Encode or decode HTML entities in multiple formats
About This Tool

The Ultimate HTML Encoder is a professional-grade tool that handles all your HTML entity encoding and decoding needs. It supports six different encoding formats: named entities (&lt;), decimal numeric entities (<), hexadecimal entities (<), Unicode escape sequences (\u003C), URL encoding, and Base64 encoding. Each format serves different use cases - named entities for HTML readability, numeric for universal compatibility, Unicode for JavaScript strings, URL encoding for query parameters, and Base64 for data transmission.

Advanced features include selective encoding (encode only special characters or all characters), whitespace preservation (convert spaces to &nbsp; and newlines to <br>), and a visual diff view that highlights exactly what changed during encoding. The entity reference table provides instant access to common HTML entities with all their encoding formats, complete with descriptions and one-click insertion. Statistics show character counts, entity counts, and size ratios to help you understand the impact of encoding.

Whether you're escaping user input for security, preparing content for HTML display, debugging entity issues, or learning about character encoding, this tool provides everything you need. The swap input/output feature makes it easy to chain operations, and all processing happens locally in your browser for complete privacy. Perfect for web developers, content creators, and anyone working with HTML entities.
