About Bom Detector and Remover
Bom Detector and Remover is used to detect and remove Byte Order Mark (BOM) characters from text files, which can cause parsing errors in tools and programming languages. It scans the file's first bytes for UTF-8 (EF BB BF), UTF-16 LE/BE, and other BOM signatures and optionally strips them from the output. BOM characters in UTF-8 files are invisible but cause issues in Python, PHP, and many Unix tools — always remove them from source code and data files. Bom Detector and Remover runs free in your browser at abovetool.com — no signup required.
