HTML Entity Decoder
Turn escaped HTML back into readable text. Paste content full of &, ", ’ or   and get clean text — decoded with your browser's own HTML parser, so all 2,000+ named entities in the HTML standard work.
Paste the text containing entities and it's decoded instantly. Named entities (©), decimal (©) and hex (©) references are all converted. Decoding uses an inert parser, so no scripts run.

- 2Read the decoded result.
- 3Copy it.
- 4Switch to Encode if you need to go back.
Where encoded text comes from
RSS feeds, CMS exports, API responses and scraped pages often contain escaped text — sometimes escaped twice, showing &. Decode repeatedly until the text is clean.
Decoded text containing < and > is still just text here; be careful where you insert it, and re-encode it before adding it to HTML.
Encoding is not encryption
Encoding changes how data is written so it can travel safely through URLs, HTML or text-only systems. It uses no key, so anyone can decode it instantly. Never use Base64, URL or HTML encoding to hide passwords or secrets — use encryption, or a password hash like bcrypt.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I see &amp; in my text?
The text was encoded twice. Decode it again to get the original characters.
Is my code or data uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you paste is sent to a server or stored.
