Text Encoding Convertor

Text Encoding Convertor is one of the apps that truly lives up to its name and does exactly what you would expect it to.

The software solution comes with a minimalist graphic interface so that you can enjoy its functions even if you are not a PC expert.

You basically need to load a text file, then choose the encoding you are interested in.

The only way to add files to the main window is to drag and drop a text file from your computer and load it within the app. Text Encoding Convertor automatically assesses the encoding of your document, displays its full path and allows you to select the target encoding.

The currently supported encodings are UTF-16 BE, UTF-16 LE, UTF-8 and UTF-8 with BOM.

On the downside, the application can only be used to process a single file at a time, meaning that if you want to change the encoding to several files, you need to edit each one of them separately.

A nifty function of this application is the fact that it integrates in Windows' context menu. In other words, you can simply right click a TXT file and change its encoding from the dedicated entry.

This action will bring up the main window of the app without any additional effort on your side. You can also choose to save the file with the new encoding as a distinct file, without overwriting the original.

Text Encoding Convertor does exactly what its name says, no more, no less. It would come in handy to be able to load multiple documents in one go, thus saving time when dealing with numerous items.
