Quoted-Printable Encoder/Decoder
Encode and decode Quoted-Printable (MIME) text with =XX hex escapes and soft line breaks.
Input
Output
Quoted-Printable is the MIME encoding used by many email systems to safely transmit text containing non-ASCII characters. Paste text to encode it, or paste an encoded body to decode it back — all processing happens locally in your browser.
How to use
- Choose Encode or Decode mode.
- Paste your text or quoted-printable content into the input box.
- Copy the converted result from the output box.
Frequently asked questions
- When is Quoted-Printable used?
- It's a common MIME content-transfer-encoding for email bodies, keeping mostly-ASCII text readable while safely escaping non-ASCII bytes as =XX hex.
- What are the '=' line endings for?
- A trailing '=' at the end of a line is a soft line break: it tells the decoder to join it with the next line, letting encoders wrap long lines without changing the content.
- Does it handle UTF-8 text?
- Yes, text is encoded to UTF-8 bytes first, so accented letters, symbols and other non-ASCII characters are escaped and restored correctly.
