Codepage Converter

Codepage Converter is a tiny and portable software utility made to help you convert HTML files into other encoding formats, like ANSI, UTF-8 or Unicode.
Although it may sound complicated to work with, the app actually comes loaded with approachable options for not only advanced users, but also beginners.

No setup required

As there is no setup pack involved, you can save Codepage Converter anywhere on the disk and just click its executable to launch the app. This is also possible when storing it on a pen drive to keep it with you at all times and access it on any PC quickly. Unlike most installers, it doesn't alter Windows registry settings, so it doesn't increase the risk of OS stability issues.

Outdated interface with simple options

The UI doesn't have any visually attractive elements, adopting a classical look instead. On the other hand, it's quite easy to navigate.
All you have to do is indicate the source file, along with the source and destination encoding method. These include Arabic 864, Baltic DOS, ISO and Windows, Central European ISO, Mac and WINDOWS, and many others.
Furthermore, you can ask the software application to output metadata as well as to process the source Unicode decimals. There are no other noteworthy options provided by this tool.

Evaluation and conclusion

Unsurprisingly, it left a small footprint on the system performance throughout our evaluation, thanks to the fact that it needed low CPU and memory to work properly. We haven't experienced any stability issues, since it didn't hang, crash or show error dialogs.
On the other hand, the program is not that feature-rich. We must also take into account the fact that it hasn't been updated for a long time. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself.
