HTML Entity Decoder

Turn HTML entities like & © and © back into normal characters.

Encode instead

Runs in your browser — your data never leaves your device.

About the HTML Entity Decoder

Text copied from page source, feeds, emails or databases is often full of entities such as &, " and ’. Paste it here to turn it back into normal, readable text.

All standard named entities and numeric (decimal and hex) entities are supported. Tags in the text are kept as plain text — nothing is run.

How to use the HTML Entity Decoder

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

How it works

Decoding uses your browser's own HTML parser inside a text-only element, so every one of the 2,000+ named entities is recognised, and no scripts or images can run or load.

Examples

  • © 2026 — Café → © 2026 — Café
  • سلام → سلام
