Common questions about Canvas HTML Unescape.

What does HTML unescaping mean?

HTML unescaping converts HTML entities like & back to their character equivalents (&). This is useful when you copy text from canvas-rendered apps that encode special characters.

Why does Google Docs use canvas rendering?

Google Docs switched to canvas-based rendering for better performance and cross-platform consistency. However, copying text from it can sometimes include HTML entities, which this tool cleans up.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. The unescaping is done entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.

Can I use this tool for free?

Yes, it is completely free with no limits. Use it as many times as you need.
