Hex to Text Converter

Decode hexadecimal byte strings to readable text, or encode text as hex. It accepts formats such as 48 65 6C, 48656C, 0x48,0x65 and \x48\x65, fully supports UTF-8, and outputs upper or lower case.

Hex and text

Hexadecimal writes each byte as two digits from 00 to FF. For example, “A” is 41 and “₹” is E2 82 B9 in UTF-8. Developers see hex in network traffic, memory dumps, URLs (%E2%82%B9) and colour codes. This tool ignores spaces, commas, 0x and \x prefixes when decoding, so you can paste hex in almost any form.
