Frequently Asked Questions
What is hexadecimal?
Hexadecimal (hex) is a base-16 number system using digits 0-9 and letters A-F. It is a compact way to express binary data — two hex digits represent one byte.
How is text converted to hex?
Each character is converted to its ASCII/UTF-8 numeric value, then expressed as two hexadecimal digits. For example, "A" = 65 = 41 in hex.
Why is hex used in computing?
Hex is easier to read than binary while still mapping directly to binary values. Colors, memory addresses, file signatures, and cryptographic hashes are all expressed in hex.
What formats does the hex decoder accept?
The decoder accepts hex digits with or without spaces or dashes. Both uppercase (FF) and lowercase (ff) are accepted.
