Text encodings
Text encoding repair
Fix garbled text from DOS, classic Mac, old Windows code pages and mainframe EBCDIC. Detects the encoding, repairs mojibake and saves clean UTF-8.
Drop a text file that shows garbled characters
or click to browse. One file at a time, up to 500 MB.
Works on .txt, .nfo, .diz, README files, CSV exports, source code, mainframe dumps - anything that is really text.
Leave on auto-detect first. Override only if the preview still looks wrong.
Supported formats (1)
Missing a format? Drop the file in Identify anyway – the detector knows more than this list, and each .txt page explains alternatives.
