HTML Decoder

Q: What entities can it decode?

It decodes named entities like & and ©, plus numeric entities in decimal (') and hexadecimal (') form, converting them all back to their original characters.

Q: Why does my text have entities in it?

Text pulled from HTML source, feeds, or double-encoded systems often carries entities instead of raw characters. Decoding restores the intended plain text.

Q: Is HTML Decoder free to use?

Yes. HTML Decoder is completely free with no sign-up, no subscription, and no usage limits. Every tool on CodeUtilityKit is free forever.

Q: Is my data safe when I use HTML Decoder?

Absolutely. HTML Decoder runs entirely in your browser. Your input is processed locally with JavaScript and is never sent to, stored on, or logged by any server — so it is safe even for private or sensitive data.

About HTML Decoder

The HTML Decoder turns HTML entities — the &, <, and ' sequences — back into the real characters they represent, so encoded markup and scraped text become readable again. It's handy when data has been double-encoded or copied out of HTML source. Decoding runs locally in your browser with nothing uploaded. To encode in the other direction use the HTML Encoder, and preview markup with the HTML Viewer.

How to Use

1Open HTML Decoder and paste or type your data into the input area.
2Adjust any available options to match the result you want.
3Your output is generated instantly — no button-clicking required for most tools.
4Use the Copy or Download button to save your result.

Common Use Cases

Encoding data for URLs, APIs, and data URIs
Debugging tokens, headers, and encoded payloads
Converting between text, hex, binary, and Base64
Safely embedding special characters in code and markup
