Encode special characters to HTML entities like & < > " for safe display. HTML Entities Encoder is a free online tool from the ToolsRift HTML Tools collection. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, no signup, and your data never leaves your device.
Encoding prevents special characters from being interpreted as HTML tags. It's essential for displaying user input safely and preventing XSS attacks.
Common encodings: & → &, < → <, > → >, " → ", ' → '. Extended encoding includes accented characters and symbols.
Always encode user input before displaying it in HTML. Use it when you want to show HTML code as text rather than rendering it.
