Why use Wivrix?

Many online tools ask you to sign up, add a watermark, or upload your files to a server you cannot see. Wivrix is different:

Step-by-step guide

  1. Encode for Content — escapes < , > , & , " , ' . Use for text inside HTML elements.
  2. Encode for Attribute — additionally escapes backtick and equals sign. Use for values inside HTML attributes to prevent attribute injection.
  3. Escape for JS String — escapes backslashes, quotes, newlines, tabs, angle brackets, and Unicode line separators for safe inclusion in JavaScript string literals.
  4. CSS Selector Escape — escapes special characters in CSS identifiers and selectors per the CSS specification.
