Each character is converted to its Unicode code point and then represented as a hexadecimal number. For ASCII characters, this is the same as the ASCII value: 'A' = 65 decimal = 0x41. For Unicode characters outside ASCII, the code point is encoded in hex: '€' = U+20AC = 0x20AC. This tool converts each character individually and joins them with a space or 0x prefix.
Hex is used to represent binary data as readable ASCII text: cryptographic hash outputs (SHA-256 produces 64 hex characters), MAC addresses (FF:AA:00:BB:CC:DD), color codes (#FF5733), byte sequences in network protocols, and memory addresses in debugging. It is more compact than binary and more readable than raw bytes.
Both encode binary data as printable text. Hex uses 2 characters per byte (16 symbols: 0-9, A-F), producing output 2× the input size. Base64 uses 4 characters per 3 bytes (64 symbols), producing output ~1.33× the input size — more compact. Hex is easier to read and debug byte-by-byte; Base64 is more efficient for large data like images.
Reverse the process: split the hex string into 2-character byte pairs, parse each as a hexadecimal integer, and convert to the corresponding Unicode character. This tool handles both directions — paste hex to decode, paste text to encode. Multi-byte Unicode characters are encoded as their full code point in hex.
