{ } How to use

  1. Paste text containing XML entities.
  2. Select Process to read it as plain text.

{ } How it works

XML Unescape 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

  • Escaped 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 an element value that arrived escaped.
  • Recover markup that was carried inside an XML document.
  • Check what an escaped value actually says.

{ } Limitations

  • The five predefined entities are understood, plus any numeric reference in decimal or hexadecimal. An entity declared in a DTD is not resolved.

{ } 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 about  ?

That one is HTML, not XML, so it is left alone here. Use HTML Entity Decode for HTML text.
