What is HTML Unescape Tool?
An HTML unescape tool converts HTML entities back to their original characters. It decodes standard entities like & → &, < → <, > → >, " → ", and numeric/hex entities like ' → ' and / → /. This is useful when processing HTML content from APIs, databases, or CMS systems where text has been double-encoded or when you need to extract the original text from HTML-encoded strings.
