{ } How to use
- Paste text containing XML entities.
- 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.
