Kaboom

Kaboom is a software application built specifically for helping you convert encoded Internet content into a readable format and vice versa.

You are welcomed by a well-organized set of functions that enables you to carry out most operations with minimal effort.

The tool offers support for batch processing, which means you can add multiple items and process them at the same time. It works with the following file formats: HTML, XML, or plain text files.

Kaboom gives you the possibility to specify the source file that you want to decode, select the code page group, as well as apply a wide range of additional filters, such as Base64, RFC-1522, UTF-7 and UTF-8, and many others.

What’s more, you can preview the first lines from the document in the primary panel, specify the target location or overwrite the source files, and create BAK files.

The program is able to decode the text copied to the clipboard, and you are allowed to select the source file (e.g. Unicode, ANSI, HTML, OEM, TXT) and preview the text directly in the main window.

Plus, you can strip HTML tags, convert text between different operating systems like Windows, Mac, and Linux, calculate from a long file name the corresponding short file name, get the universal network connector (UNC) path from a mapped network drive, as well obtain the hex dump of the text.

During our testing we have noticed that Kaboom carries out a task very quickly. It is quite friendly with system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

To sum things up, Kaboom offers a handy set of parameters for helping you make encoded Internet content readable.
