Entities are how HTML represents characters that would otherwise be interpreted as markup (like < and &), or characters outside plain ASCII. They commonly appear after scraping a webpage, exporting from a CMS, or copying from an RSS/XML feed.

Related but different: Remove HTML Tags strips out markup like <p> and <br>. This tool decodes escaped characters like & back to &. Text scraped from the web often needs both.

No. Decoding happens entirely in your browser using a native HTML parsing trick — nothing is uploaded or stored.
