{ } How it works
HTML Entity Decode works on the text you provide. Select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Input
- Encoded input — paste or type your input in the left panel (use Sample for an example)
Output
TXT text — copy or download it from the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Read a feed or an API field that arrived HTML-escaped.
- Clean up text copied out of a page’s source.
- Check what an escaped string actually says.
{ } Limitations
- Six named entities are understood — amp, lt, gt, quot, apos and nbsp — plus any numeric entity, decimal or hexadecimal. Other named entities such as © are left alone.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
This tool works on one input at a time.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
What happens to ?
It becomes an ordinary space. That is usually what you want in plain text, but the non-breaking property is gone.
