Encoding Detector

Detect character encoding of text/files — BOM detection, UTF-8 validation, byte analysis, convert to UTF-8/ASCII/Base64/Hex, and mojibake fixer

How to Use Encoding Detector

1. Paste text into the input field or upload a file — the tool will automatically analyze the bytes and detect the character encoding
2. Review the Detected Encoding result with confidence score. Expand the analysis details to see how the detection was made — BOM check, UTF-8 validation, byte pattern analysis
3. Switch to Convert tab to transform text to UTF-8, ASCII, Base64, or Hex. Use the Mojibake Fixer tab to recover garbled text by trying different encoding recovery scenarios.
