Text to HTML Converter

How to Use It

1. Paste plain text.
2. Choose whether blank-line-separated blocks become <p> paragraphs or single line breaks become <br>.
3. Click Convert.
4. 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.

Example

Prices went up 5% & delivery is now 2-3 days.
Use code <SAVE10> at checkout.

Thanks for shopping with us!

in paragraph mode becomes:

<p>Prices went up 5% &amp; delivery is now 2-3 days.<br>
Use code &lt;SAVE10&gt; at checkout.</p>

<p>Thanks for shopping with us!</p>

Without escaping, a browser would treat <SAVE10> as an unknown tag and the code would vanish from the page.

When to Use It

• Pasting plain text into a CMS or email template field that expects HTML.
• Showing user-written text, code samples or log output on a web page exactly as written.
• Converting notes or a plain-text newsletter into simple web content.

Paragraphs or Line Breaks?

Use paragraph mode for prose, where blank lines separate paragraphs. Use line-break mode for addresses, poems or lists where every line matters. For headings, bold text and links, write the text in Markdown instead and use Markdown to HTML.

To go back, use HTML to Text. To check how the result renders, paste Markdown into Markdown to HTML.
