HTML Entity Decoder

Convert HTML entities back into readable text. Instantly translate &amp;lt; into < to recover raw code from web scraping or database dumps.

Unescape HTML Safely

When extracting data from databases, JSON APIs, or web scrapers, text is often returned fully HTML-encoded to prevent security risks. To read or edit it, you need to decode it back to its original state. This local tool parses HTML entities and safely reverts them back to standard characters.

Why Use Our HTML Decoder?

  • Recover Code: Easily translate escaped strings back to working HTML.
  • API Parsing: Clean up messy JSON responses.
  • Secure: Processing happens offline, protecting your data.
  • Comprehensive: Decodes both named (©) and numeric (©) entities.

How to Use the HTML Decoder

2.

3.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this execute malicious scripts?

No, because the decoding is done within a safe, sandboxed text context (using innerText/textContent APIs), any decoded `<script>` tags will NOT execute.
