About HTML Escape / Unescape

There are many situations where you want text to remain visible as text instead of being interpreted by the browser as markup. Documentation pages, support articles, onboarding guides, code examples, snippets embedded in email templates, and CMS preview checks all benefit from quickly escaping raw HTML characters before publishing.

The reverse is also common: you may receive escaped content from a database export, automation log, help desk ticket, or marketing tool and want to inspect the actual characters behind the entities. This tool focuses on the five entities that show up most often in day-to-day work, so the behavior is easy to understand and quick to verify.

Because the conversion updates live as you type, it also works as a lightweight learning aid for teammates who are not deeply familiar with HTML entities yet. Everything stays in the browser, which makes it convenient for internal or unpublished content review.

Choose Escape or Unescape from the mode switcher, and the output updates immediately as you type.
