    • Encode to HTML: Converts symbols into safe HTML entities.
    • Decode from HTML: Converts entities back into their original characters.

  4. Step 4 – Copy & Use: Select and copy the encoded or decoded output, then paste it into your web content, code editor, or CMS.

Pro Tips

  • Check for characters like ampersands (&), angle brackets (< >), and quotes—they're the most common to encode.
  • Use encoding when embedding user input within HTML to prevent rendering issues or security risks.
  • Decode output before saving in a CMS if it was previously encoded, to clean up the content.
