HTML Entity Encode/Decode
How to Encode and Decode HTML Entities Locally on your Mac
HTML entities show up in templates, scraped snippets, CMS content and API payloads. CodeSwissKnife converts reserved characters to entities and decodes them back locally.
Why decode HTML entities locally?
Escaped markup can include unpublished copy, customer text or private template code. Local decoding lets you inspect it without a web tool.
Convert reserved characters both ways
Encode characters for HTML-safe output or decode entities back into readable text when inspecting copied content.
Use with web formatting tools
Pair HTML Entity Encode/Decode with HTML Preview, HTML/CSS/JS/TS Formatter and String Literal Escape/Unescape when cleaning web snippets.
Use HTML Entity Encode/Decode offline on macOS
Download CodeSwissKnife to keep this encoder or decoder and the rest of your developer workflow tools local on your Mac.
