Checking file contents
When you select a file, the tool automatically flags potentially dangerous code so you can check it before using it. Validation does not block saving or run content.
No matches do not mean the file is completely safe. Do not run or publish unknown PHP/JS/HTML based solely on this check.
The result is saved as UTF-8; BOM is disabled by default.
How to correct the encoding and not get cracked
When you select a file, the tool automatically detects the BOM, checks UTF-8 and analyzes the text for typical features of common encodings. For Russian files, Windows-1251, KOI8-R and DOS-866 are taken into account; for HTML, XML and CSS the encoding declaration is also read. The result immediately appears on the right and is ready to be saved.
- Automatic recognition of UTF-8/BOM, UTF-16 and common text encodings;
- Support for Cyrillic, English, HTML/XML/CSS declarations and preservation of original line breaks;
- Save to UTF-8 with or without BOM, with choice of result extension;
- Extracting plain text from DOCX and storing it in UTF-8 TXT;
- automatic checking of the selected file for suspicious structures.
Auto-check does not replace an antivirus and does not guarantee file security. For DOCX, only plain text is saved: the document itself is not re-encoded, since there is no single text encoding in the ZIP package.
