Escape structure, not meaning
Encode the five characters that change HTML structure: ampersand, angle brackets, double quote, and apostrophe. Decoding reverses named, decimal, and hexadecimal entities. Unknown entities are left as written so nothing disappears silently. This is a safety step for displaying text inside markup, not a sanitizer for untrusted HTML.

Frequently asked questions
Does my text leave my browser?
No. Processing happens in a local browser worker. The tool makes no request containing your draft.
Can I upload a document?
Use Import .txt to read a UTF-8 plain-text file locally. Word documents and PDFs are not supported. Copy their text into the input instead. Each field accepts up to 200,000 characters.
Will the result replace my original?
No transformation automatically overwrites your input. Check the output before copying it. Grammar and spelling suggestions change the input only when you choose to apply them.
Make the next edit count
