Frequently Asked Questions

What is an HTML character entity?

It is a specific code string that starts with an ampersand (&) and ends with a semicolon (;), representing a reserved character.

Why are characters like < and > reserved?

They define HTML tags. Browsers parse them as code, so they must be escaped to display as regular text.

Does this tool require an internet connection?

No. The conversion is performed locally in your browser, so you can work securely anywhere, anytime.

Are there any character limits for conversion?

No, our fast local engine converts large blocks of code within milliseconds.

Does this tool save any history?

No. All operations are processed in temporary browser memory and are instantly cleared when you close the tab.
