What this tool helps you do
Encode or decode common HTML entities, escape JSON string content, or create and read a safely quoted JavaScript string without executing user input.
How to use Text Escape & HTML Encoder
- Paste plain text or entity-encoded text.
- Choose the HTML, JSON or JavaScript escape operation.
- Copy the text output; it is never inserted as executable markup.
Example
Input: <strong>Tea & cake</strong>
Result: <strong>Tea & cake</strong>
Practical note: Decoding makes text readable; it does not sanitize HTML for safe page insertion. Keep untrusted results in text-only contexts.
Supported formats
Plain text typed or pasted into the browser.
Limits and safety
Guests can split up to 20,000 characters per task. The number of resulting segments is not limited. A high technical safety ceiling protects the browser for signed-in members.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use my own delimiter?
Yes. Choose Custom delimiter and enter the exact characters between each segment. It is treated as literal text, not a regular expression.
Is my text uploaded or saved?
No. Splitting happens in this browser tab. The input and results are not uploaded or saved by this tool.
