Is my text data uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is sent over the network, which makes the tool safe for sensitive data.

Which characters are encoded?

& " and ' become named entities; every character above ASCII (accents, em dashes, emoji…) becomes a numeric reference like é. ASCII letters stay readable.

Why encode HTML entities?

Raw text pasted into HTML breaks markup as soon as it contains <, & or quotes — and can become an XSS vector. Paste your text above to escape it safely.

How it works

The five HTML special characters are replaced with their named entities, and any character outside printable ASCII becomes a decimal numeric reference. The output is plain ASCII, safe to embed in any HTML document or attribute.
