HTML Decode

Use the HTML Decode tool to decode HTML entities into readable text for web development, debugging, and clean content processing

An HTML Decode tool is a text utility designed to convert HTML-encoded entities back into their original readable characters. HTML encoding is commonly used to safely display reserved characters in web pages, but encoded text can be difficult to read, edit, or reuse outside of HTML contexts.

This tool works by replacing encoded entities such as &, <, >, ", and numeric character references with their actual characters. It allows users to instantly clean text copied from HTML source code, CMS editors, emails, or web applications.

The HTML Decode tool is commonly used for:

  • Decoding HTML entities into readable text

  • Cleaning content copied from HTML source code

  • Debugging web templates and markup

  • Processing encoded text from forms or APIs

  • Preparing text for reuse in documents or apps

By automating the decoding process, this tool saves time and prevents manual errors. It is especially useful for developers, content editors, SEO specialists, and anyone working with encoded HTML text.
