Convert IP addresses to decimal and back. Useful for networking and databases. Runs in your browser.
The IP Address Converter is an essential tool for network developers and system administrators working with IP addresses. It converts IPv4 addresses to their decimal representation and vice versa, making it easier to store, compare, and work with IP addresses in databases and network programming.

Enter an IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) in the IP address field and select 'IP to Decimal' mode. The tool converts the IP address to its decimal representation using the formula: (octet1 × 256³) + (octet2 × 256²) + (octet3 × 256) + octet4.
Enter a decimal number (0 to 4294967295) in the decimal field and select 'Decimal to IP' mode. The tool converts the decimal number back to its IP address format (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
IP address to decimal conversion represents an IPv4 address as a single 32-bit number. This is useful for database storage, IP range calculations, and network programming where IPs need to be stored or compared as integers.
The decimal representation of an IPv4 address ranges from 0 (0.0.0.0) to 4294967295 (255.255.255.255). Any number outside this range is invalid for IPv4 addresses.
Yes! Our IP converter is 100% free with no registration required, no usage limits, and no hidden fees. You can convert as many IP addresses as you need for your development work.
No, all IP conversion happens locally in your browser. We don't store, save, or have access to any IP addresses you convert. Your privacy is completely protected.
Converting IP addresses to decimal is useful for database storage (storing IPs as integers), IP range calculations, network programming, and comparing IP addresses numerically. It's a common practice in network applications.
The formula is: (octet1 × 256³) + (octet2 × 256²) + (octet3 × 256) + octet4. Each octet is multiplied by powers of 256, then summed to get the decimal representation.
Yes! The tool works with any valid IPv4 address including private IPs (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x) and public IPs. It converts any valid IP address format.
The maximum decimal value for an IPv4 address is 4294967295, which represents 255.255.255.255. This is the highest possible IPv4 address.
No, this tool only supports IPv4 addresses (32-bit). IPv6 addresses use a different format (128-bit) and require a different conversion method. For IPv6 conversion, you would need a specialized IPv6 converter.
