What does the HTML Entity Decoder do?

Text exported from websites, RSS feeds and databases often contains entities such as &, ’ or 🚀. The decoder converts all named, decimal and hexadecimal entities into normal characters.

Decoding is done safely: the input is never inserted into the page as HTML, so scripts cannot run.

How to use the HTML Entity Decoder

  1. Paste text containing entities.
  2. Copy the decoded text.

Examples

Feed text

Tom & Jerry’s café → “Tom & Jerry’s café”.

Common use cases

  • Cleaning scraped or exported text
  • Reading RSS and API content
  • Fixing double-escaped content

Features and benefits

  • Private by design — your data is processed on your device and never uploaded.
  • Free with no account, no watermark and no usage limits.
  • Works on phones, tablets and desktops in any modern browser.

Limitations to know

  • Double-encoded text (like &) needs decoding twice — use “Use result as input”.
