About This Tool


Hex to text conversion decodes hexadecimal values back into readable characters. This is essential when working with encoded data, debugging, or analyzing hex dumps.

Our converter automatically handles multiple hex formats. Whether your input is "48656C6C6F", "48 65 6C 6C 6F", "0x48 0x65", or "\x48\x65", the tool strips prefixes and separators to decode the text.

The tool converts each pair of hex digits to its ASCII or UTF-8 character equivalent. "48" becomes "H", "65" becomes "e", and so on, reconstructing the original text.

This is particularly useful for developers working with network protocols, file formats, or APIs that return hex-encoded data. It's also helpful for decoding URL-encoded strings and analyzing binary file contents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hex formats are supported?
The converter handles plain hex (48656C6C6F), spaced (48 65 6C 6C 6F), prefixed (0x48 0x65), and escaped (\x48\x65) formats.
What if my hex is invalid?
Invalid hex characters (not 0-9 or A-F) will cause an error. Odd-length hex strings may also fail.
Why do I get weird characters?
If the hex doesn't represent valid text encoding, the result may include control characters or symbols.
Can I decode binary hex dumps?
Yes, as long as the original data was text. Binary data may produce unprintable characters.
Is this the same as URL decoding?
Similar concept, but URL encoding uses %XX format. This tool handles programming-style hex formats.
