DownloadThis command line utility is a codepage converter to be used to change the character encoding of text. It fully supports charsets such as ANSI code pages, UTF-8, UTF-16 LE/BE, UTF-32 LE/BE, and EBCDIC. It's designed to convert big text files, too. It runs on Windows XP onwards (tested on XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11). The "readme.txt" file and the Wiki gives you some more information.
You'll find the compiled tool for 32 bit (x86) and 64 bit (x64) Windows in the "bin" directory. The C source code is available in the "src" directory. Just click on the "Files" tab.

I just used this excellent tool to convert all the 66 resource files for my project Lima VVA — Simple Road Design and Earthworks (also to be found here at SourceForge). It was very straightforward to use. Thank you very much!

I've been using convertcp for a few years now to asciify some small text files. Works great. The author is responsive and helpful should questions arise.
