Hex Converter - Text to Hexadecimal & Back

A hex converter transforms text into hexadecimal (base-16) representation or decodes hex back to readable characters. Each character becomes a two-digit hex code based on its byte value. Use it for debugging, color codes, or low-level data inspection.

1. Enter input: Paste text or hex digits (optionally space-separated).
2. Choose direction: Select Text to Hex or Hex to Text.
3. Convert: Copy the result for logs, code, or documentation.

• Developer debugging: Inspect byte values in network traffic, files, or memory dumps.
• Color exploration: Understand how hex color codes map to RGB values.
• Data encoding: Prepare hex strings for APIs or configuration files.

Use case 1: Debug network payloads

Convert raw bytes to hex to trace encoding issues in API responses.

Use case 2: Config file values

Encode binary tokens or keys as hex for safe storage in text configs.

Use case 3: Learning hexadecimal

Visualize how ASCII characters map to hex values for computer science courses.

Basic example

Input: Hi
Output: 48 69

Advanced example

Input: 48 65 6c 6c 6f
Output: Hello

Invalid hex characters

Only 0–9 and A–F (case insensitive) are valid. Non-hex characters cause parse errors.

Odd-length hex strings

Hex should have even character count (pairs). Add a leading zero if needed.

• Use spaces between byte pairs for readability; remove them for compact storage.
• Combine with the binary converter for alternate low-level views.
• Encode to Base64 with the Base64 encoder when hex is too long.

• View binary representation with the binary converter.
• Encode for URLs using the URL encoder.
• Hash values with the MD5 generator.

Conversion runs locally in your browser. No data is uploaded; hex output stays private.
