FilenameFixer - Fix Broken Unicode Filenames
1 rating
)Overview
Automatically fix broken Unicode filenames (NFD→NFC) when uploading files. Works with Gmail, Drive, Outlook, Slack.
FilenameFixer automatically fixes broken Unicode filenames when you upload or attach files on any website. 🔧 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 — Korean characters break into individual Jamo (한글 → ㅎㅏㄴㄱㅡㄹ), French accents separate (résumé → résumé), German umlauts split, and Vietnamese diacritics scatter. ✅ 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. 🌟 KEY FEATURES • Automatic conversion — Works silently in the background • Works everywhere — Gmail, Google Drive, Outlook, Slack, Dropbox, and any website with file uploads • Drag & drop support — Fixes filenames on drag-and-drop file uploads • Copy & paste support — Fixes filenames on paste events • All languages — Korean, French, German, Vietnamese, Spanish, Japanese, and any language with accented characters • Toast notifications — See what was fixed in real-time • Conversion history — Track all filename conversions with 7-day chart • Per-site control — Disable on specific websites • Export/Import — Backup and restore your settings • 100% private — All processing happens locally in your browser.
