CSV Encoding Fixer

Preview and fix CSV encoding issues including UTF-8, UTF-8 BOM, Windows-1252, and Windows-1253 where supported.

Privacy-first: files never leave this device.

Broken characters usually mean the file was decoded with the wrong encoding.

  • Detects UTF-8 and UTF-8 BOM.
  • Supports Windows-1252 and Windows-1253 when the browser supports them.
  • Warns when legacy encoding detection is uncertain.
