The HTML Decode Tool helps you convert HTML entities like <, &, and ” into their readable text equivalents. Whether you’re cleaning up exported HTML, decoding template content, or reviewing encoded values, this tool gives you a fast and easy way to see the clean result. It works live in your browser and supports file upload and export.
How to Use:
Paste encoded HTML into the input box on the left. The tool decodes entities like <, >, &, “, and ‘ back into readable symbols. The decoded result appears live in the right-hand box. You can also import .txt, .html, or .md files, then export or copy the output. The character counter updates automatically.
What the HTML-decode Text Tool can do:
This tool replaces HTML entities with their corresponding characters turning < into <, > into >, and so on. It uses safe browser-native parsing so you can trust the results. With live decoding, file support, and character counting, it’s a useful tool for developers, writers, or anyone working with raw HTML content.
Example:
Before:
<div class="highlight">Encode this & that</div>After:
<div class="highlight">Encode this & that</div>Common Use Cases:
This tool is especially helpful when reviewing or editing HTML in CMS exports, scraping results, or email templates. You might use it to decode form data, logs, or embedded content. Since it runs entirely in your browser, your data stays secure and the results appear instantly.
Useful Tools & Suggestions:
After decoding HTML, try Strip HTML Tags from Text to clean out any leftover markup. And if you’re flipping it back later, HTML-encode Text makes sure everything’s safely escaped again.
