Convert HTML entities into readable text

This tool converts HTML entities into readable text. It scans your input text for all HTML entities—both named (e.g., &, <, >, ") and numeric (e.g., ', ')—and decodes them into their corresponding characters. This version decodes recursively so that even double‑encoded entities are fully decoded. Simply enter your text, and click the process button.

Input Text

Decoded Text

Conversion Mode:

Decode All HTML Entities
Recursively decodes every HTML entity (both named and numeric) found in the text.

Examples:

Price: &amp;pound;100, &amp;euro;50, &amp;yen;200.

After:

Price: £100, €50, ¥200.

Example 3: Numeric Entities

Converts numeric entities. The "Before" text is double‑escaped so that numeric codes display literally.

Before:

It&amp;#39;s a test: &amp;#39;Example&amp;#39;.

After:

It's a test: 'Example'.

Example 4: Accents and Punctuation

Converts entities representing accented characters and punctuation.

Accents: &amp;eacute;, &amp;uuml;, and ñ. Punctuation: &amp;ldquo; &amp;lsquo;.

After:

Accents: é, ü, and ñ. Punctuation: “ ‘.

Example 5: Complex Mixed Entities

Demonstrates a complex line with multiple double‑encoded entities, including quotes and special symbols.

Before:

Line: &amp;lt;&amp;quot;HTML Data&amp;quot;&amp;gt; &amp;amp; more.

After:

Line: <"HTML Data"> & more.
