Processed on your device

Paste text, open a file or try the sample to begin.

How to use

  1. Open the subtitle file, or paste the garbled text.
  2. Leave repair on automatic detection, or choose the encoding that was used by mistake.
  3. Run the tool and download the repaired UTF-8 file.

Good to know

Fixes text that was written in UTF-8 but opened as a single-byte encoding. Up to three layers of mis-decoding are undone.

If your file still looks wrong, reopen it with the file encoding selector above and run the tool again. The download is always UTF-8.

Text files up to 5 MB are supported. Downloads are encoded as UTF-8.

Questions

What does garbled text look like?

Accents turn into pairs such as é instead of é, and dashes or Japanese text into strings like — or æ±äº¬.

What if the text is still wrong?

The file may not be UTF-8 at all. Open it again with Shift JIS or UTF-16 in the file encoding selector, then run the tool.
