Before you start
Drop one or more Latin-1 file files; this format cannot be pasted as plain text.

- Confirm the detected format. Mixed-format batches are flagged before conversion.
- Select “Convert on this device.” Produces a downloadable UTF-16 BE file file with the correct extension and MIME type.
How this converter behaves
The source is decoded into Unicode or bytes, validated strictly, and encoded in the selected byte representation or character set. Invalid and unrepresentable values produce an error instead of silent replacement.
What happens to your data?
The conversion engine runs in this browser tab. OmniCastConverter has no upload API and never sends your content, file name, or converted result to a server.
Fidelity and limitations
This route is classified as lossless. The converter preserves meaning and structure supported by both formats.
- The output includes a byte-order mark; matching marks are removed when decoding.
