Which Text Encoding tool do you need?

Tool	What it answers
HTML Decoder	Paste text full of HTML entities and the decoder replaces each character reference with the character it stands for.
HTML Encoder	Paste text and the encoder replaces the five markup characters with entities: & becomes &, the angle brackets become < and >, double quotes " and apostrophes '.
URL Encode Decode	URL encoding replaces characters that are not allowed in a URL with a percent sign and two hex digits for each UTF-8 byte.
XML Decoder	Paste escaped XML and the decoder replaces the five predefined entities and every numeric character reference with the real character.
XML Encoder	An XML encoder replaces the characters that XML treats as markup for their predefined entities: the ampersand becomes &, the angle brackets become < and >, and quotes…

Escape ampersands, angle brackets and quotes as the five XML entities, with an option to write accented letters as hex references like é.

Turn <, &, " and numeric references like © or € back into plain characters, with a count of every entity that was replaced.

Decode HTML entities back to plain characters: named ones like é, decimal é and hex é, with a table of every reference that was replaced.

Percent-encode text or a whole URL, or decode %XX escapes back to readable text. Handles UTF-8, so é becomes %C3%A9, with optional + for spaces.

Turn text into HTML-safe entities: ampersands, angle brackets and quotes become &, <, ", with optional decimal or hex codes for non-ASCII.
