HTML Entity Encoder

Encode ampersands, angle brackets, quotes and apostrophes when you need to display text as content rather than markup.

Input stays in this browser.

How it works

Immediate local processing.

1. Enter your input. Paste text, a value or the data this utility expects.
2. Adjust the relevant options. The result updates locally as your input changes.
3. Copy the result. No remote conversion roundtrip is required.
