Hello
Frequently asked questions
Can I paste hex with spaces or a 0x prefix?
Yes. Spaces are ignored and an optional 0x in front of each byte is stripped, so '0x48 0x65' decodes to 'He'.
Why do I get an error about an odd length?
Each byte needs two hex digits. An odd number of digits means a byte is incomplete, so add the missing digit.
Does it support Unicode, not just ASCII?
Yes. Text is encoded and decoded as UTF-8, so accented letters and emoji round-trip correctly even though they use more than one byte.
Can I choose uppercase or add a separator?
Yes. When converting text to hex you can output uppercase digits and place a separator such as a space between bytes.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
