HTML Escape
Escape text for safe use inside HTML, live as you type, in either direction.
Type in either field — the other updates live, both directions. Uses your browser's own HTML parser, so every named and numeric entity is handled correctly, not just the common ones a hand-rolled mapping would cover. Runs entirely in your browser.

What is HTML Escape?
Type text and get it HTML-escaped instantly — the characters that have special meaning in HTML (<, >, &, and more) are converted to their safe entity form, using your browser's own HTML parser for complete correctness.
