About this tool

IconVault's Escape / Unescape converts text between raw and escaped forms for the four formats developers reach for most: JavaScript strings, regular expressions, URL encoding and HTML entities. Paste your text, pick a mode, and flip direction with one click. It is free and runs fully in your browser.

Handy moments include embedding user text in a JS string literal without breaking quotes, URL-encoding query parameters, escaping special regex characters before a dynamic pattern, and decoding HTML entities copied from page source. All processing is local, so snippets never leave your machine.
