Hex Encoder/Decoder

Convert text to hexadecimal and vice versa

1. What is Hexadecimal?

Hexadecimal (hex) is a base-16 number system that uses 16 symbols: 0-9 and A-F. Each byte (8 bits) can be represented by exactly two hexadecimal digits, making it a compact way to represent binary data.

2. How does it work?

How to use this tool?

Select Encode mode to convert text to hex, or Decode mode to convert hex back to text. When decoding, you can include or omit the '0x' prefix and spaces - they will be automatically removed.

Use Cases

  • Encoding data for blockchain transactions
  • Representing binary data in a readable format
  • Debugging and analyzing network protocols
  • Working with color codes in web development
  • Low-level programming and memory inspection

3. Examples

Encode simple text

Hello → 48656c6c6f

Encode with special characters

Hello, World! → 48656c6c6f2c20576f726c6421
