About HTML Decode

HTML Decode is a free online tool that converts HTML entities back into their original characters. When working with encoded HTML content where special characters appear as entities like &amp;lt;, &amp;gt;, &amp;amp;, or &amp;quot;, this tool instantly converts them back to their readable forms like <, >, &, and quotes.

The tool supports all HTML named entities (like &amp;nbsp;, &amp;copy;, &amp;euro;) as well as numeric entities in both decimal (&#38;#169;) and hexadecimal (&#38;#xA9;) formats. All processing happens entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
