About Us

EscapeHTML is a free online tool for encoding and decoding HTML entities. It exists for one reason: special characters cause real problems — broken markup, failed email renders, and XSS holes — and fixing them should take seconds, not a stack-overflow detour.

What the Tool Does

Paste raw text and get escaped entities; paste an entity string and get the original characters back. Three questions shaped every design decision:

• Which way is the conversion going? Auto mode inspects the input for entity patterns like 你 or < and picks the direction for you.
• Which style do you need? Named, decimal and hex entities are one click apart, because email systems, URLs and templates each expect different things.
• Will the text survive the trip? The non-ASCII option converts Chinese, Arabic and other multilingual characters into numeric code points so nothing is lost on non-UTF-8 transports.

Our Approach

We believe a security-adjacent tool must itself be trustworthy. That is why the entire engine runs in your browser:

• No uploads. Your text is processed locally with JavaScript and never sent to any server.
• No sign-up. No accounts, no email walls, no watermarks.
• No stored history. Close the tab and everything is gone.

The Name

"EscapeHTML" says exactly what the tool does — and the site is styled like a border checkpoint, because that is the mental model: every character lines up, gets inspected, and leaves with the right stamp. Raw characters go in, entities come out; nothing crosses the line unchanged unless it is supposed to.
