Open the text encoding fixer

How it works

  1. Open the file with the broken characters (é, ’…).
  2. In Fix Encoding, choose how it should be read (UTF-8, Windows-1252, Latin-1…) and check the preview.
  3. Download it again as clean UTF-8.

Everything happens in your browser: nothing is uploaded. The tool opens inside CSV Studio, where the rest of its tools are one click away.
