β What is Quoted-Printable encoding?
Quoted-Printable is a text encoding method defined for email and MIME
formats, where non-ASCII or special characters are represented using an
equals sign followed by two hexadecimal digits. It keeps mostly readable
text intact while safely encoding special characters for transport.
π How do I use this Quoted-Printable tool?
Paste your plain text or Quoted-Printable encoded string into the toolβs
input area, choose whether to encode or decode, select a character
encoding type, and then click the relevant action button to process your
text.
β‘ Why use the Quoted-Printable Encode & Decode tool?
Quoted-Printable encoding is especially useful for email systems that must
safely transmit special characters, international text, and extended ASCII
content while keeping the text human-readable. This tool simplifies that
process without requiring any software installation.
-
Instant conversion: Encode or decode text in seconds.
-
Safe email formatting: Ensures special characters are
preserved in MIME email bodies.
-
Browser-based: No data uploads or external storage of
your content.
π‘ Tips for best results
To get accurate conversions:
-
Use UTF-8 for multi-language text to preserve characters properly.
-
Quoted-Printable is ideal for text formats like email bodies that must
remain mostly readable.
-
If decoding mail content, ensure the input contains correct
Quoted-Printable sequences (like `=3D` for `=`).
