Escape HTML characters into entities for safe display in web pages and prevent XSS attacks
This HTML Escape tool converts raw HTML characters into safe HTML entities. When you need to display HTML code as text on a web page, escaping prevents the browser from interpreting it as markup. This is essential for showing code examples, displaying user-generated content safely, and preventing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks. Characters like <, >, &, and quotes are converted to their entity equivalents (<, >, &, ").
