About Hex Encoder/Decoder

Convert text to hexadecimal byte values and back. Useful for inspecting how strings are encoded, debugging binary protocols, or producing hex literals.

How to use

  1. Paste text to encode, or a hex string to decode.
  2. Pick the direction (text → hex or hex → text).
  3. Copy the output, optionally with spaces between bytes.

Frequently asked questions

Which encoding is used for text?
Text is treated as UTF-8 before conversion, so multi-byte characters produce multiple hex bytes.
Can I decode hex with spaces or 0x prefixes?
Yes — common separators and prefixes are ignored so you can paste hex in most formats.
