How to use HTML Entities Decoder

Paste HTML-entity-encoded text, and the tool decodes it back into readable characters and symbols.

Frequently asked questions

What entities can be decoded?

All named entities (& <   etc.) and numeric entities (' ’) are decoded to their character equivalents.

Is decoding safe?

Decoding is safe for display as text. Be cautious inserting decoded content into HTML—it may contain tags or scripts. Always re-encode user content.

Why is my text showing entities?

Sometimes HTML is double-encoded or displayed as text. This tool decodes entities so you can read or edit the actual content.
