“Encode Converter is the fastest solution to simultaneously convert encode between thousands of plain text files.”

About

Encoding Converter, is an easy-to-use application for Windows that can help you convert encoding of multiple ansi/ utf-8/ unicode plain text documents to and from any encoding, either interactively or in batch mode. It can convert encoding of thousands of files within a few minutes minutes.

Encoding Converter just does plain text conversion, for example, it can convert uncodeencoding of text, .php, .xml and .html files to ANSI encoding. Encoding Converter isn't a file format converter! for example, it can not convert PDF to text files; from Word to Html files or anything else like that. 

This is a terminology mistake that people new to computing sometimes make, mixing up the words "encoding" and "format". Encoding Converter can convert encoding of XML and HTML files, however you may need to manually edit the encoding declaration of the resulting file.

Key Features

• Convert encoding files to and from any encoding (including utf-8, utf-8 no bom, utf-16le, utf-16be, utf-32le, utf-32be, gbk, big5, shift-JIS, euc-jp, euc-kr and more. See the Supported Language Encoding List). Examples: ansi to Unicode, or Unicode to non Unicode etc.
• A friendly, intuitive, and powerful Windows graphical Interface, which can be displayed in multiple languages, now including English, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese.
• Very Fast batch conversion of multiple documents with sub-folder support and can convert thousands of files within a few minutes!
• You can convert new-line characters to DOS (CR/LF), Unix (LF), Mac (CR) new-line format, or choose not to convert new-line  format of the source file.
• You can specify a range of files by use of wild cards or by choosing entire folders and sub folders.
• You can use file filters of "include words" and/or "exclude words" to automatically limit wild card file selection.
• You can choose Automatic detection of a source file's encoding format, or can specify it explicitly.
• Supports a full command line interface, with an extensive and flexible array of command line parameters, which can be launched from within batch files or other programs.

What’s New

2011-05-31 Release, Encoding Converter build110531, updated product help information and application text information, very thanks for Peter Polash’s kindly help.

2010-08-30 Release, Encoding Converter build100827, add command line interface, thanks for Thomas Jensen’s advice.

2010-05-25 Release, Encoding Converter build100525, added NO BOM utf-8 encoding format in destination encoding format list. In Encoding Converter GUI, you only select “unicode 8 bit (utf-8) NO BOM” encoding item from destination encoding format list, then do encoding conversion, final you can get no BOM utf-8 encoding files, thanks for Gert Van Assche’s idea.

2009-10-20 Release, Encoding Converter build091020, fixed encoding conversion error while selecting "convert files to same file path".

2009-10-10 release, Encoding Converter build091009.

System Requirement

• You will need a Pentium 150 PC or higher, 16MB RAM or more. 
• The operating system can be Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT 4.X/XP/VISTA/WIN7

Automatic source file encoding detection, convert to utf-8 encoding and not convert new-line format

Don't convert the encoding format, only convert to dos (cr/lf) new-line characters

FAQ

Who would need Encoding Converter, and for what purpose?

* People who have text files with un-know text encoding, and receive emails or files that don't display properly, simply because the text encoding is incompatible with their system.

* People who have a vast number of text files in an older non-Unicode encoding format that needs to be upgraded to Unicode encoding. or people whose files needs to be converted from Unicode encoding to an older encoding format for legacy systems.

* People who want to convert a file's new-line formatting to or from DOS (CR/LF), Unix (LF), Mac (CR) new-line format.

How can I run the program from the command line?
tec <source file path> <-de:destination encoding code> [-dp:destination file path] [-dn:destination new-line code] [-se:source encoding code] [-is] [-iw:include words] [-ew:exclude words] [-b2b] [-b2p:bak to path] [-nb]

source file path	The path and files to be converted. This parameter must exist. for example, "d:source*.txt" (use quotes when paths contain spaces)
-de:destintation encoding code	Destination file encoding code. This parameter must exist. You can get the full encoding code list from the graphical interface , please see the following red frame. for example, -de:41, the destination encoding is utf-8
-dp:"destination file path"	Destination file path. For example, -dp:"d:dest" if this parameter is ignored, the source file will be converted to the same file path, and the source file will be overwritten. (Use quotes when the destination path contains spaces.)
-dn:destination new-line code	Destination new-line code. You can get the full code list from the graphical interface, please see the following red frame. For example, -dn:0, means DON'T convert the new-line format. For this setting, the source file's new-line formatting is preserved in the destination file, altered only as needed to satisfy the requirements of the destination encoding code. If this parameter is ignored, it is the same as -dn:0.
-se:source encoding code	Source file encoding code,. You can get the full encoding code list in the graphical interface, please see the following red frame. for example, -se:0, means automatically determine the source file encoding format If this parameter is ignored, it is the same as -se:0, ie, auto detection of source file encoding format
-is	Include sub-folders; If specified, source files contained in sub folders of the source path folder will be converted as well.
-iw:include words	Include words in source file name or file path. Only convert files whose names include the specified words. Used for wild card or entire folder source paths. for example, -iw:test;2010*.log, means convert only those source files whose files names include "test" or are of the form "2010*.log"
-ew:exclude words	Exclude words in source file name or file path. Only convert files whose names do not include the specified words. Used for wild card, or entire folder source paths. for example, -ew:.bak, source files with an extension of .bak will excluded.
-b2b	Backup files to .bak, used when the destination path is the same as the source
-b2p:"bak to path"	Backup files to specified path,. Used when the destination path is the same as the source path. For example, -b2b:"d:bak". Source files will be backed up to the folder "d:bak" (Use quotes when the path contains spaces)
-nb	Don't backup source files

Command Line Example 1:  
tec "c:source file*.php" -de:41 -b2b -is
This will convert *.php files in the "c:source file" folder and its sub-folders to utf-8 encoding format, and it will backup the original source files to the same folder using the .bak file extension

Command Line Example 2:
tec "c:source file*.php" -de:-2 -dn:1 -dp:"d:dest file" -is -ew:.bak
This will convert *.php files in "c:source file" and its sub-folders to utf-8 no bom file encoding format, and convert to unixnew-line format, the destination file path is the folder "d:dest file", and it will not convert .bak files in source file path.

I have many UNIX files, now need to convert dos files, whether it can convert UNIX to DOS files?
Yes, Encoding Converter not only can convert Encoding format, but also can convert UNIX, DOS and MAC new-line format. After run GUI, please set "Source File Encoding Format" to "Auto Check" and set "Destination Encoding Format" to "0=Don't Convert Encoding Format" and set "Destination File New Format" to "2=DOS (CR/LF)", then it can convert UNIX to DOS files.

What’s Unicode?
Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language. There are several Unicode encodings: the most popular is UTF-8 and UTF-16. UTF-8 uses a variable-length encoding, and all basic Latin encodings are identical to ASCII.
