Text to HTML Converter
Convert plain text to safely-escaped HTML - preserves line breaks and paragraphs, with all special characters properly escaped.
Paste plain text below - this tool escapes special characters and wraps paragraphs/line breaks in appropriate HTML tags.
Escaping special characters (like turning a literal < into <) ensures your plain text displays as intended rather than being misread as HTML markup.
How to Use It
- Paste plain text.
- Choose whether blank-line-separated blocks become
<p>paragraphs or single line breaks become<br>. - Click Convert.
- Copy or download the resulting HTML.
Why Escaping Matters
If your plain text contains characters like <, >, or &, inserting them into HTML unescaped would either break the markup or be misinterpreted as a tag - this tool escapes them to HTML entities so they display exactly as typed.
Limitations
This produces plain, safe structural HTML (paragraphs/line breaks) - it doesn't infer or add formatting (bold, links) that wasn't explicitly present as literal characters in your plain text input.
