Got Questions?

Here is everything you need to know about text to HTML conversion.

Web browsers don't recognize standard line breaks (Enter/Return keys) from word processors. If you paste plain text directly into an HTML file, it will display as one giant, unreadable block of text. This tool adds the necessary <p> and <br> tags to maintain your paragraphs and spacing on the web.
If your text contains characters like < or > (often used in math equations or explaining code), a browser might confuse them for HTML tags and break your page layout. Checking the "Escape HTML entities" option converts them into safe codes (like &lt;) so they display correctly as text.
This specific tool focuses on structural conversion (paragraphs, breaks, links) rather than rich text editing. However, any existing HTML tags (like <b> or <i>) you type in manually will be preserved if you turn off the "Escape existing HTML" setting.
No! The conversion happens entirely client-side using JavaScript running in your browser. We never send your text to our servers, so your drafts, articles, or confidential notes remain 100% private.
