What is HTML Entities to Text Converter?

Paste text containing HTML entities (like & or <) and see them decoded back to their literal characters instantly, using your browser's own HTML parser for complete, correct entity handling. Because it delegates to the browser's actual HTML parser rather than a hand-rolled lookup table, it correctly handles the full range of named and numeric entities, not just the handful most tools bother to support. Everything happens client-side — nothing you paste is sent to a server.
