What does HTML Entity Decode do?

Decodes named and numeric HTML entities back to characters. Paste your html on the left and NMSnabbit instantly shows the decoded on the right. For example, “&lt;a&gt; &amp; b” gives “<a> & b”. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded, so it stays private and works offline. You can process several values at once and copy the result with one click.

How to use the HTML Entity Decode

  1. 1 Type or paste your html into the input box.
  2. 2 The decoded appears instantly in the output box as you type.
  3. 3 Tip: try the example “&lt;a&gt; &amp; b” to see “<a> & b”.
  4. 4 Click “Copy output” to copy the result.

What you can use it for

  • Quickly decodes named and numeric html entities back to characters without installing anything.
  • Checking results while learning or teaching how html and decoded relate.
  • Preparing or debugging data for programming, electronics or homework.
  • Working privately when the data shouldn't be uploaded to a server.
