About This Tool


Hexadecimal (hex) is a base-16 number system commonly used in computing. It uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F to represent values, making it more compact than binary while still being easily convertible.

Our text to hex converter transforms each character into its hexadecimal byte representation. For example, "Hello" becomes "48 65 6C 6C 6F" where each pair represents one character.

Hex encoding is widely used in programming for representing binary data, defining colors (like #FF5733), encoding URLs, and working with memory addresses. It's a fundamental skill for developers.

The tool offers multiple output formats: plain hex digits, 0x prefixed (programming standard), \x escaped (for strings), and with or without spaces. Choose the format that matches your use case.

For extended characters and emojis, each character may produce multiple hex bytes due to UTF-8 encoding, accurately representing the character's byte sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hexadecimal?
Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system using 0-9 and A-F. Each hex digit represents 4 bits, making it compact for representing binary data.
Why are there two hex digits per character?
Each ASCII character uses one byte (8 bits), which equals two hex digits (4 bits each).
What does 0x mean before hex?
0x is a programming convention that indicates the number is hexadecimal, commonly used in C, JavaScript, and Python.
Can I use this for color codes?
Yes! Text characters can be converted to hex, though color codes typically use specific RGB values rather than text encoding.
Why do some characters produce more hex digits?
Characters beyond ASCII (like emojis) use multiple bytes in UTF-8, producing more hex digits.
