TextEncoder

TextEncoder is a software utility specifically designed to help you change the encoding and type of line break of text files in batch. With support for multiple encoding modes, this application makes it possible to make these changes much easier and faster, fulfilling a task that would otherwise be cumbersome.

Working with TextEncoder is simple mostly due to its intuitive interface and user-friendly options. The main window displays the list of input files to the left, while the right-side of the window shows the modifications you can make.

While TextEncoder can encode files you select individually, note that it can also choose the files itself from a given folder. Moreover, you can easily import a list of files to process.

TextEncoder can detect the encoding mode of each file automatically, but you are free to specify it from a drop-down menu, if necessary. It is compatible with ASCII, ANSI, Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1), Latin-2 (ISO 8859-2), Win-1250 (Central European), UTF-7, UTF-8 and more, streamlining conversions between any of these formats.

The application allows you to specify whether a Byte Order Mark (BOM) should be written to the output file. Alternatively, it allows you, for instance, to erase all the Byte Order Mark from your files.

Aside from changing the encoding of text files, TextEncoder also allows you to modify the type of line break used. Just like with the encoding, it can automatically detect the type of line break, while you can also specify it. You can choose to preserve the original type of line break or change it. TextEncoder supports CRLF, LF, CR and NL and allows you to use any custom character or string as a line break.

Output files can be saved locally, either by overwriting the original files or as new entries. You can also change the target folder and define a new name file pattern to apply. The date of the original file can be optionally changed.
