How to use Text File Encoding Converter

Reinterpret original bytes deliberately instead of guessing the source charset. A strict decoder rejects invalid sequences; replacement mode is an explicit lossy option.

  1. Enter local file.
  2. Choose the settings for text file encoding converter, then run the tool.
  3. Review the result and any limitations before copying or downloading it.

Good to know

  • 8 MiB input and 32 MiB output; preview is limited to 20,000 characters.
  • No automatic charset detection. Output is UTF-8; source BOM is consumed by the decoder, then the selected output BOM policy is applied.
  • Processing is local. Output is limited to 1,000,000 text characters unless a stricter file limit is stated.

Common questions

Can the original encoding always be detected?

No. Several encodings can interpret the same bytes. Choose a known source charset and review the preview.

Is this input sent to a server?

No. The application processes this input inside your browser tab and does not save it to persistent storage.
