Re-encoder

Switch document encodings

Re-encoder take a folder full of files, assumes that they are encoded plain text, and saves each one into a different encoding. You specify the ‘from’ and ‘to’ encodings. If you’re not sure, there’s a preview function where you can experiment with different encodings until your file looks right.

The graphical version looks like this on a Mac with the encoding previewer open showing the top of a file. Click on the image to see it full size in a new browser window.
