HTML Decoder

What is HTML Decoder?

The HTML Decoder converts HTML entities back into normal characters. It restores symbols like <, >, &, and quotes so your text is easy to read and edit.

Importance of HTML Decoder

Encoded text is safe but hard to read. Decoding helps you review content from feeds, exports, or CMS fields. It is useful when you need to edit or republish the original text.

Why Should You Use HTML Decoder?

• Readable content - Remove entities to see clean text.
• Faster editing - Work on content without entity clutter.
• Accurate updates - Avoid mistakes caused by manual unescaping.
• Smoother workflows - Move data between tools without errors.

How to Use HTML Decoder

1. Paste encoded text - Enter the entity-filled text you want to decode.
2. Click Decode - Convert entities like &lt; and &amp; back to characters.
3. Copy the result - Use the copy button to reuse the decoded text.
4. Use Sample or Reset - Load a sample to test, or clear the field to start again.

Tips:

• Decode only once. Double decoding can corrupt special characters.
• If you plan to display user input as code, re-encode it with the HTML Encoder.
