Quoted-Printable encoder and decoder: what it is for

Paste an email's source code and get the text back with its accents, joining the lines broken with =. It also decodes RFC 2047 headers such as =?UTF-8?Q?...?= and =?UTF-8?B?...?=, and works the other way too: it encodes text as Quoted-Printable with lines up to 76 characters or creates an encoded email subject.

Everything runs in your browser: nothing you paste or open is sent to a server.

How to use

  1. Choose decode or encode.
  2. Paste the text.
  3. Copy the result.

When to use it

  • Read email source code.
  • Build HTML emails by hand.
  • Fix subjects with broken accents.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Quoted-Printable show up?

In email source code (.eml files and Gmail's Show original option). Accented letters become sequences like =C3=A7 and long lines end with = to continue on the next line.

What about =?UTF-8?Q?...?= in the subject?

That is email header encoding (RFC 2047), used in the subject and the sender's name. Q uses Quoted-Printable and B uses Base64. The tool decodes both.

Which charset is used?

UTF-8, today's standard. When decoding, if the text says ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252, the tool uses that charset.

Is it really free?

Yes, 100% free. No sign-up, no subscription and no usage limits. All Tools123 are free.
