Just select the Source directory, Output destination, and click Start. Nothing could be more simpler than this.

  • UTFCast does not recognize UTF-8-encoded Sourcefiles (if they have no BOM). "Converts" these utf-8-files as they were cp1252-encoded, resulting in corrupted targetfiles. Not very smart.

    You can try the Professional Edition of UTFCast, it recognizes 30+ codepages and Unicode files without BOM.
