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
- Choose decode or encode.
- Paste the text.
- 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.
