When to use this tool

Critical for preventing XSS attacks when rendering user-generated content in web applications. Use this to safely display HTML tags, special characters, or code snippets in web pages without the browser interpreting them as markup.

How to use

Paste your HTML or text into the input area. The tool escapes all special HTML characters (<, >, &, ", ') to their corresponding HTML entities. Copy the encoded output to use in your templates.
