Text to ASCII Converter & Decoder

Effortlessly convert text to various ASCII representations and back again with our versatile and powerful online tool. Whether you need to see the decimal, hexadecimal, binary, octal, or Base64 equivalent of your text, this converter provides instant, real-time results. It's an essential utility for programmers, data analysts, and anyone working with character encodings.

How It Works

Our converter is designed for a seamless, two-way workflow. All conversions happen instantly as you type and adjust the settings.

  1. Choose Conversion Direction: Select whether you want to convert "Text to ASCII" or "ASCII to Text".
  2. Select a Format: Choose the desired numerical or encoding format (e.g., Decimal, Hex, Base64).
  3. Enter Your Data: Type or paste your text (or ASCII codes) into the input box and see the result appear instantly in the output box.

Key Features

  • Bi-directional Conversion:
    • Text to ASCII: Convert plain text into its corresponding ASCII codes.
    • ASCII to Text: Decode a series of ASCII codes back into human-readable text.
  • Multiple ASCII Formats: Supports a wide range of standard formats.
    • Decimal (base-10): The standard numerical representation (e.g., `72`).
    • Hexadecimal (base-16): Commonly used in programming (e.g., `48`).
    • Binary (base-2): The fundamental representation for computers (e.g., `01001000`).
    • Octal (base-8): Another numerical system used in computing.
    • Base64 Encoding: A special format used to safely transmit binary data in text-based protocols.
  • Customizable Separator: You have full control over how the output codes are separated. Use a space, a comma, a newline (`\n`), a tab (`\t`), or any custom string. (Note: This is disabled for Base64).
  • Live & Interactive:
    • The conversion happens in real-time as you type, providing immediate feedback.
    • The input placeholder text dynamically updates to guide you based on your selected settings (e.g., `Enter decimal codes separated by ' '...`).
  • Robust Error Handling: The tool instantly alerts you if you provide invalid input, such as a non-numeric code for a numerical format or a corrupted Base64 string, preventing incorrect results.
  • Convenient Utilities: Includes one-click buttons to "Copy" the output to your clipboard or "Clear" all fields to start over.

How to Use the Tool

  1. To Convert Text to ASCII:
    Set the first dropdown to "Text to ASCII". Choose your desired output "Format". Type your text in the input box. The ASCII codes, separated by your chosen "Separator", will appear in the output.
  2. To Convert ASCII to Text:
    Set the first dropdown to "ASCII to Text". Select the "Format" that matches your input codes. Paste your codes into the input box, making sure the "Separator" matches the one used in your data. The decoded text will appear in the output.
