EscapeHTMLTerms of Service
Last updated: October 2026
These terms govern your use of escapehtml.com (the "Site"). By using the Site you accept them. If you do not, please do not use the Site.
The tool this page covers is EscapeHTML, an HTML entity encoder and decoder. Put simply, it escapes text into HTML entities to prevent cross-site scripting and decodes entities back to plain text, with named, decimal and hex styles, and the way it does so is this: it escapes the five characters that change meaning in HTML — ampersand, angle brackets and both quote styles — and because decoding is single-pass, an escaped sequence like A resolves back to the literal text A rather than to A, which is exactly the behavior that keeps a second decode from turning sanitized input back into live markup. Everything stated here applies to that tool and the values it handles, and to nothing else.
Everything the tool works with — the text or entity string you paste — is handled locally. It is usually reached for things like checking whether a payload would survive one decode, and because nothing is transmitted a visitor can close the tab knowing no copy was made anywhere.
What this Site does
EscapeHTML offers an HTML entity encoder and decoder, free to use, together with supporting explanations. Every result is an estimate computed from what you supply, following the method set out on the page itself. Developer tools produce output for use in your own work, and you remain responsible for reviewing and testing it.
