What this tool changes
Enables a UTF-8 byte order mark (BOM) on the exported CSV and keeps all other repairs under your control.
What to review
Fixmerce reads UTF-8, UTF-8 BOM, and Windows-1252. It cannot recover data that was already corrupted before export.
How it works
Add your file, review the detected settings and output, then download the result. Processing stays in your browser.
