Hex to Text & Text to Hex — frequently asked questions
What is hexadecimal text encoding?
Hexadecimal (base-16) uses numbers 0-9 and letters a-f to represent raw binary byte values. In computing, text encoded as ASCII or UTF-8 characters is frequently represented as hexadecimal byte sequences (e.g. `Hello` becomes `48 65 6c 6c 6f`).
Can this converter handle UTF-8 non-ASCII characters?
Yes. The converter implements full UTF-8 byte encoding and decoding, supporting international alphabets, emojis, and extended symbols.
What delimiter options are available?
You can format hex output separated by spaces (e.g. `48 65 6c`), unspaced (e.g. `48656c`), colon-separated (`48:65:6c`), or with the standard `0x` programming prefix (`0x48 0x65 0x6c`).
How does automatic direction detection work?
When set to "auto", the converter analyzes the input: if the string consists exclusively of pairs of hex digits and delimiters, it decodes hex to text; otherwise, it encodes text to hex.
Is any data saved or uploaded during conversion?
No. All conversions execute 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is saved or uploaded to any server.
