PRIVATE, FREE BROWSER UTILITY

CSV Encoding Checker

Check if a CSV or text file looks like UTF-8, UTF-16 or uses another character encoding.

✓ Files remain on your device · No sign-up

Find why characters appear garbled.

Get a useful result in seconds. Processing happens on this device.

How to use this tool

Choose a CSV or text file to inspect common encoding markers and decode a preview.

Before you begin

Files without clear markers may have an unknown legacy encoding; detection is not guaranteed.

Why keep files local?

The tool reads the input with your browser and processes it on your device. It does not send your file to a Workpico conversion API. If you share a result by copying or downloading it, you control what happens next.
