Escape HTML characters for safe display or unescape HTML entities
An HTML escape and unescape tool converts unsafe HTML characters into safe HTML entities (escaping) and also converts HTML entities back into normal readable text (unescaping). Escaping prevents browsers from interpreting user input as actual HTML markup, making it essential for security, displaying code examples, and preventing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting). Developers use HTML escaping when rendering untrusted input on web pages or when showing HTML snippets inside documentation, blogs, and tutorials.
