Overview

Fix broken Unicode filenames (NFDโ†’NFC) when uploading or downloading files. Works on Gmail, Drive, Outlook, Slack and any site.

FilenameFixer automatically fixes broken Unicode filenames when you upload or attach files on any website โ€” and restores them on files you download. ๐Ÿ”ง THE PROBLEM When you create files on a Mac, the filenames are stored in Unicode NFD (decomposed form). When these files are opened on Windows, the filenames appear corrupted โ€” Korean characters break into individual Jamo (ํ•œ๊ธ€ โ†’ ใ…Žใ…ใ„ดใ„ฑใ…กใ„น), French accents separate (rรฉsumรฉ โ†’ rรฉsumรฉ), German umlauts split, and Vietnamese diacritics scatter. โœ… THE SOLUTION FilenameFixer intercepts file uploads and automatically converts filenames from NFD to NFC (composed form) before they're sent. No more broken filenames when sharing files between Mac and Windows. ๐ŸŒŸ KEY FEATURES โ€ข Automatic conversion โ€” Works silently in the background โ€ข Works everywhere โ€” Gmail, Google Drive, Outlook, Slack, Dropbox, and any website with file uploads โ€ข Drag & drop support โ€” Fixes filenames on drag-and-drop file uploads โ€ข Copy & paste support โ€” Fixes filenames on paste events โ€ข Download fixing (optional, off by default) โ€” Files you download get a clean name too (receiver mode for Windows users; v1.2). Turn it on in Settings โ†’ Downloads. Note: while it is on, Chrome ignores the file names that other extensions (screenshot tools, download managers) give their downloads. โ€ข All languages โ€” Korean, French, German, Vietnamese, Spanish, Japanese, and any language with accented characters โ€ข Toast notifications โ€” See what was fixed in real-time โ€ข Conversion history โ€” Track all filename conversions with 7-day chart โ€ข Per-site control โ€” Disable on specific websites โ€ข Export/Import โ€” Backup and restore your settings โ€ข 100% private โ€” All processing happens locally in your browser. No files are sent to any server. No data is collected. โš™๏ธ HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the extension 2. Upload or attach a file on any website 3. FilenameFixer automatically detects NFD-encoded filenames 4. The filename is converted to NFC before upload 5. A toast notification shows what was fixed ๐Ÿ”’ PRIVACY Your files never leave your browser. FilenameFixer processes everything locally using JavaScript. No servers, no data collection, no tracking. The extension only requires "storage" permission to save your settings and "activeTab" to detect the current site. Fixing the names of files you download needs the optional "downloads" permission, which Chrome asks for only when you turn that feature on (filenames only, processed locally). ๐ŸŒ SUPPORTED LANGUAGES Korean (ํ•œ๊ธ€), French (franรงais), German (Deutsch), Vietnamese (Tiแบฟng Viแป‡t), Spanish (espaรฑol), Japanese (ๆ—ฅๆœฌ่ชž), and any language using Unicode accented characters. ๐Ÿ†“ FREE Completely free with no limitations. No premium features, no subscriptions.
