About This Tool


ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) assigns numbers to characters. Our converter transforms these number codes back into readable text.

Enter ASCII codes separated by spaces or commas, and the tool converts each code to its character. For example, "72 101 108 108 111" converts to "Hello" (H=72, e=101, l=108, o=111).

Standard ASCII uses codes 0-127, with printable characters from 32 (space) to 126 (~). Codes 0-31 are control characters like newline (10) and tab (9). Extended ASCII goes to 255.

This converter is useful for decoding ASCII art, solving puzzles, understanding character encoding, and debugging programs that work with character codes.

The tool also helps students learning about character encoding and the relationship between numbers and the text we see on screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ASCII?
ASCII is a character encoding standard that assigns numbers (0-127) to letters, digits, punctuation, and control characters.
What format should I use?
Enter decimal ASCII codes separated by spaces (72 101 108 108 111) or commas (72, 101, 108, 108, 111).
What about codes above 127?
Extended ASCII (128-255) includes additional characters. These vary by encoding (Latin-1, Windows-1252, etc.).
How do I find a character's ASCII code?
Use our Text to ASCII converter, or look up an ASCII table. Common values: A=65, a=97, 0=48, space=32.
Why are there unprintable characters?
ASCII codes 0-31 are control characters (newline, tab, etc.) that control text formatting rather than displaying characters.
