Hex to Text

About This Tool

The Hex to Text converter decodes hexadecimal-encoded strings back into human-readable text. Hex encoding is used in programming, data transmission, and security tools to represent binary data as readable ASCII characters.

Paste any hex string (with or without spaces) and the tool instantly decodes it to plain text. The reverse operation (Text to Hex) is also available.

How to Use

1. Paste your hex-encoded string into the input field.
2. The decoded text appears instantly in the output.
3. Toggle to Text-to-Hex mode to encode text instead.
4. Use the space-delimited option if your hex uses "48 65 6C" format.
5. Click Copy to copy the result to clipboard.

Use Cases

Used by developers debugging network packets, security researchers analyzing malware strings, and programmers working with binary protocols or file formats.

FAQ

• What is hex encoding? — Hex encoding represents each byte as two hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). The letter "A" becomes "41" in hex.
• Does it support Unicode? — The tool handles standard ASCII/UTF-8 hex encoding. Multi-byte Unicode characters must be provided as their full UTF-8 hex representation.
• Is whitespace ignored? — Yes, spaces and line breaks between hex pairs are automatically ignored during decoding.
• What happens with invalid hex characters? — Invalid characters are skipped, and only valid hex pairs are decoded.
