The Text to HTML Converter from PowerSEOTools.online helps you turn plain text into clean, ready-to-use HTML. Whether you are preparing content for a web page, email template, blog post or CMS field, you can instantly generate properly encoded HTML that respects line breaks and paragraphs.

Why Convert Text to HTML?

Browsers interpret HTML, not plain text. If you paste raw content into a page without encoding special characters or adding tags, you may break your layout or introduce display issues. Converting text to HTML ensures that:

Special characters like <, >, & and quotes are safely encoded.
Paragraphs and line breaks are preserved using proper HTML tags.
Your content can be dropped directly into a code editor, CMS or template.

Flexible Formatting Options

This tool gives you control over how your text is translated into HTML:

<p> paragraphs: Split text into paragraphs on blank lines and convert single line breaks inside each paragraph into <br> tags.
<br> line breaks: Turn every line break into a <br> tag, ideal for short snippets, addresses or poetry.
Encode only: Simply encode HTML entities while keeping your original line breaks untouched.
Wrap in full document: Optionally wrap your HTML in a complete <!doctype html> document with <head> and <body> tags.
