Frequently asked questions
Why does my text show é instead of é?+
That is mojibake: the two UTF-8 bytes for é were displayed as if they were two separate Latin-1 characters. This tool reverses the mistake by mapping each character back to its byte and decoding the byte stream as UTF-8.
Can it fix text that was corrupted twice?+
Yes. Double mojibake (common after two bad migrations) is handled by applying the repair up to three times. If the text cannot have come from this mistake, it is returned unchanged.
Is it free to use?+
Yes — completely free with no sign-up, no account and no usage limits. There is no paywall, so you can encode, decode and convert as much as you like.
Is my data private and secure?+
Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript — your input is never uploaded to a server, stored or logged. Once the page has loaded you can use it offline, which makes it safe for tokens, keys and confidential data.
