About ByteBack

ByteBack is a browser-based Progressive Web App (PWA) designed to help users recover and repair text corrupted by encoding errors. Whether dealing with mojibake, wrong keyboard layouts, transliteration issues, HTML entities, escape sequences, URL encoding, or Base64, ByteBack offers a practical solution. It tests multiple possible repair chains, ranks the most readable results, and displays each transformation step along with before-and-after views. Its processing happens locally on the user’s device, ensuring that pasted content remains private and is not uploaded or stored externally. This makes ByteBack an ideal tool for developers, translators, and anyone working with text that has become unintelligible due to encoding problems. Its offline capability and support for multiple languages make it especially versatile for users concerned about privacy and data security.
