About this tool

HTML Entities runs entirely in your browser. HTML Entities works on HTML in your browser, transforming or previewing the markup you paste locally.

Generated previews are escaped or sandboxed so pasted markup cannot affect the tool. Your input never leaves the page, and no account or install is required.

When to choose Html Entities

This tool is for looking up HTML entities to display reserved characters.

Worked example: You find & and < so a snippet shows '&' and '<' instead of breaking the markup.

A reference and converter for entities; the encoder/decoder tools focus on transforming text in bulk.

Why use HTML entities?

They let reserved or special characters appear as text without the browser interpreting them as markup.
