Common questions

Answers about HTML Entity Decoder

How do I decode HTML entities into characters?

Paste text that contains HTML entity notation. The operation replaces recognized entities with their character values. It performs a text conversion rather than rendering a page or extracting text from every HTML element.

Why does decoding entities make angle brackets visible?

Entities can represent markup characters such as less-than and greater-than signs. Decoding restores those literal characters. Keep the result as text unless a separate, appropriate sanitizer controls any later HTML insertion.

Will entity decoding remove HTML tags?

No. Decoding entities and removing tags solve different problems. Use HTML tags Remover when you want to remove markup from an HTML fragment. Check the order carefully when the input contains encoded markup.
