Overview

Quickly switch page character encoding via right-click menu to fix garbled text

Web pages sometimes display incorrectly because the browser misidentifies the character encoding — especially common with older sites, legacy servers, or cross-language content. Instead of digging through Chrome's hidden settings, just right-click and pick the right encoding. Key Features - One-click fix — Right-click any page, choose the correct encoding (UTF-8, GBK, Big5, Shift_JIS, and more), and the page instantly re-renders correctly - 10+ encodings — Supports Chinese (GBK, GB2312, Big5), Japanese (Shift_JIS, EUC-JP), Korean (EUC-KR), Russian (KOI8-R), Western (ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252), and Unicode (UTF-8) - Safe to try — One-click restore to the original encoding at any time. No risk, just click and see - Smart preferences — Optionally remember your encoding choice per website, so it auto-applies on your next visit - 5 languages — Interface available in Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Russian - Source file friendly — .js and .css files display with proper formatting and line wrapping - Lightweight — No external dependencies, no network requests, runs entirely offline
