About this tool
Encodes text as Quoted-Printable, a format used in email to carry non-ASCII characters through systems that expect plain ASCII. Printable ASCII characters and spaces stay as they are. Everything else, including accented letters, line breaks and the equals sign itself, is written as =XX hex codes, using the UTF-8 bytes of the character (é becomes =C3=A9). The tool does not add soft line breaks to keep lines under 76 characters, and line breaks are encoded rather than kept, so the output is one continuous line. This is fine for short snippets, but a full email body may need different handling. It runs in your browser.
How to use it
- Type or paste your text.
- Copy the encoded output.
- Use it where a Quoted-Printable string is required.
Example
Input
café = 1
Result
caf=C3=A9 =3D 1
Common problems
- Lines are not wrapped
- No soft line breaks are added, so long lines are not wrapped to 76 characters. A mail library is a better choice for complete messages.
- Line breaks turned into =0A
- Newlines are encoded as hex codes. Decoding returns them, but they are not real CRLF line breaks in a MIME body.
- Spaces at the end of a line
- Spaces are left as they are and are not encoded, which some mail systems may trim.
