Quoted-Printable Decoder – Instantly Decode MIME-Encoded Text to Plain Format

Free Quoted-Printable Converter Tool – Academy of Digital Marketing

At the Academy of Digital Marketing, we create essential tools that simplify email development, testing, and diagnostics. Our Quoted-Printable Decoder converts encoded content—commonly found in email headers and message bodies—back into readable plain text or HTML. Whether you're debugging emails, reviewing MIME-formatted content, or decoding special character sets, this tool delivers accurate, fast results in seconds.

What Is Quoted-Printable Encoding?

Quoted-printable is a MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) encoding format used to safely transmit non-ASCII text, symbols, and accented characters via email systems that support only 7-bit content.

Example:

Encoded:

ini
Copy
EditCaf=C3=A9 & Cr=C3=A8me =E2=80=93 100% natural!

Decoded:

sql
Copy
EditCafé & Crème – 100% natural!

This format is often seen in HTML emails, headers like Subject: or From:, and email attachments. A decoder allows you to reverse the encoding and view the intended characters clearly.

Why Should You Use the "Quoted-Printable Decoder" Tool?

Email clients and servers often mask or distort encoded content, making it difficult to read or debug. This tool helps you:

  • ✅ Decode headers, body content, and MIME parts
  • ✅ Reveal accented or special characters from encoded emails
  • ✅ Debug email formatting issues in raw MIME responses
  • ✅ Extract readable text from quoted-printable payloads
  • ✅ Understand character encoding used in email-based data

Perfect for developers, email marketers, system administrators, QA testers, and technical support professionals.
