About HTML Entity Decoder
Scraped or stored HTML often contains entities such as &, < and ' that you want as real characters. This tool decodes named and numeric HTML entities back into plain text using the browser's own parser. It runs entirely in your browser, so your content stays private.
FAQ
Does it handle numeric entities?
Yes — both named (&) and numeric (') entities are decoded.
Is it safe?
Yes — it decodes to text only and never executes the HTML.
How do I encode text to entities?
Use the HTML entity encoder tool.
