Encode text into Quoted-Printable format or decode Quoted-Printable back
into readable text instantly. This encoding is commonly used in email and
MIME messages to safely transmit special characters while keeping content
mostly human-readable β all processed locally in your browser.
What is Quoted-Printable encoding?
Quoted-Printable is a MIME encoding method designed for email content.
It represents special or non-ASCII characters using an equals sign
followed by two hexadecimal digits (for example, =3D for
=). This allows text to remain readable while staying safe
for transport through email systems.
How does Quoted-Printable encoding & decoding work?
During encoding, only special or non-ASCII characters are transformed
into Quoted-Printable sequences, while standard ASCII text remains
unchanged. Decoding reverses this process by converting hexadecimal
sequences back into their original characters.
