HTML Decode

The HTML Decode online tool takes an HTML-encoded string and converts it into a regular HTML string by decoding special characters.

Decoding is the conversion of an encoded string into a human-readable format so that the audience can understand it. Effective communication occurs when the message is received and comprehended in the desired way.

HTML decoding is the opposite of the HTML encoding process. In HTML, certain characters are only reserved for HTML. HTML encoding replaces the HTML special characters with their corresponding HTML entities so the browser knows and understands how to display them, and it does not affect the HTML rendering.

HTML encoding helps to transmit the HTML code over the internet easily.

HTML decoding converts the HTML-encoded string to its original format to be readable by the human eye.

Suppose the text string contains these signs < and >. To ensure that the browser does not interpret these signs as an opening and closing tag of HTML. The HTML encode function is performed.

• < is replaced with <
• > is replaced with >

To decode the encoded HTML code, do the following steps.

• Open the HTML decode online tool.
• Enter the encoded HTML code, or use the "load from URL" or "browse" option for getting the code.
• Click on the "Decode" button in case you want to decode the encoded HTML Code.
• Click on the "Encode" button in case you want to encode the decoded HTML Code.
• The result will be displayed in the upper section.
• Please copy the output and paste it into the desired location.

Checking the result using the sample data is beneficial because it not only shows you the output but also removes any ambiguity that you may have.

To use that option, do the following steps.

• Click on the "load sample data" button.
• It will show you the decoded HTML code in the upper section.
• Click on the "Encode" button to encode the HTML code.
• Suppose you want to decode that encoded HTML code again. Click on the "Decode" button to perform that task.

Note: You can encode and decode the same HTML code several times.

Do we keep a copy of your source code?

Protecting user trust is our top priority. We do not keep a copy of the source code that the user pastes for the encode or decode process.
