About HTML Encode

HTML Encode is a free online tool that converts special characters into their HTML entity equivalents. When displaying user-generated content, code snippets, or any text containing characters like <, >, &, or quotes on a web page, these characters must be encoded to prevent them from being interpreted as HTML markup. This tool handles that conversion instantly.

The tool converts the five essential characters that have special meaning in HTML: ampersands (&amp;), angle brackets (&lt; and &gt;), double quotes (&quot;), and single quotes (&#39;). All processing happens entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server. This makes it safe and fast for encoding sensitive content.
