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.
