How to convert hex to text

  1. 01

    Split into bytes

    Every 2 hex digits are one byte. 48656C6C6F splits into 48, 65, 6C, 6C and 6F.

  2. 02

    Turn each byte into a number

    The first digit is worth 16 times its value: 48 is 4 × 16 + 8 = 72.

  3. 03

    Look up the character

    Find the number in the ASCII table: 72 is H. Characters outside ASCII take 2 to 4 bytes in UTF-8, and the converter joins them for you.

Formats the converter reads

Paste hex the way you found it. All of these work:

  • 48 65 6C with spaces between bytes
  • 48656C as one run, split every 2 digits
  • 0x48 0x65 or 0x48656C with a 0x prefix
  • \x48\x65 as escaped in code
  • 6c or 6C: case doesn't matter
