Use this tool to convert file encodings of one or several files on disk.
Encodings
From
Select the current encoding of the files. The files to be converted should all have the same
encoding. E.g. if the files to be converted are ANSI files, select the correct ANSI encoding in the
list. Files with a Unicode signature (BOM) will be identified though and handled correctly.
To
Select the encoding to convert the files to. E.g. if the files should be converted to UTF-8, select
Unicode (UTF-8) in the list.
Unicode signature (BOM)
Set this if the converted files should have a Unicode signature. This option will only affect
Unicode files and will have no effect on ANSI files.

NOTE! The undo feature will only work if you backup your files.
