Hex Encoder & Decoder

Convert strings, ASCII, and UTF-8 text to and from hexadecimal representations with custom delimiters and byte formatting.

At a glance

Hex Encoder & Decoder is a free, client-side tool that converts text to hex and hex to text online. It chooses from spaces, continuous strings, 0x prefixes, \x escapes, colons, commas, and dashes. It also inspects raw byte structures in canonical 16-bytes-per-row memory offset views. Your inputs never leave your device, and there is no sign-up or install.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hexadecimal encoding?
Hexadecimal (base-16) encoding represents binary byte values (0–255) using 16 alphanumeric symbols: 0 through 9 and A through F. Each byte consists of two hexadecimal characters, providing a human-readable representation of raw digital data.
Does this tool support Unicode and emojis?
Yes! The engine uses full UTF-8 byte encoding and decoding rather than naive ASCII char codes. Multibyte characters like emojis, accented letters, and non-Latin scripts are correctly converted to and from their standard UTF-8 byte sequences.
How does decoding handle prefixes like 0x or \x?
The decoder is lenient and intelligently strips common formatting artifacts, including 0x prefixes, \x C-style escapes, spaces, commas, colons, and line breaks before decoding the underlying bytes.
Is any data sent to external servers?
No. 100% of encoding, decoding, and byte analysis occurs directly in your web browser via client-side JavaScript. No text or hex payloads are ever uploaded or logged.
