What Is Quoted-Printable Decode?
Quoted-Printable decoding reverses the QP encoding process. It converts =HH hex sequences back to byte values, joins soft line breaks, and passes through printable ASCII unchanged. The decoder handles both uppercase and lowercase hex digits and correctly processes multi-byte UTF-8 sequences. RFC 2045 compliant. All processing happens in your browser.
