Saved me hours. The live conversion and character counter are exactly what I needed for debugging API payloads.

Super clean interface. The stats panel showing input vs output size ratio is incredibly useful for understanding encoding overhead.

❓ FAQ
What is hexadecimal text encoding?+
Hexadecimal (hex) represents binary data using base 16 (digits 0–9 and letters A–F). Each byte is represented as two hex digits. "Hello" in hex is 48 65 6C 6C 6F (48 = H, 65 = e, etc.).
Do I need spaces between hex pairs?+
No. This tool accepts both space-separated (48 65 6C) and continuous (48656C) hex. The auto-fix button normalises any input by stripping non-hex characters and splitting into pairs.
What is the 0x prefix in hex?+
0x is a common programming notation indicating a hexadecimal value (e.g. 0x48 = H). This tool automatically strips 0x prefixes from input.
What is the range of hex values for printable ASCII?+
Printable ASCII characters range from 0x20 (space) to 0x7E (~). Hex values below 0x20 are control characters (like 0x0A for newline, 0x09 for tab), and values above 0x7E are extended ASCII or multi-byte Unicode.
Why use hex instead of binary for data representation?+
Hex is more compact — each byte needs only 2 hex digits vs 8 binary digits. It's more human-readable and widely used in programming, debugging, cryptography, colour codes (#FF5500), and network protocols.
