How to use Fix text encoding

  1. Open the text files that look wrong (TXT, CSV, SRT, HTML and more).

  2. Leave "Work it out for me" on, or choose the encoding if you know it.

  3. Press Convert, check the preview, and save the fixed UTF-8 files.

Questions

Why does my file show é instead of é?

It was saved as UTF-8 and then opened or saved again as old Windows text. The repair works out the original letters, even if this happened twice.

The file shows � symbols. Can that be fixed?

Only if the file itself is in another encoding. If a program already replaced the letters with � when saving, the original letters are gone.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, on your own device. The site's security settings stop the page from sending your files anywhere.

Is it free?

Yes. No sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in Safari, Chrome and other modern browsers. You can open files from the Files app or your downloads, and save the results back.
