HEX ⇄ ASCII ⇄ Decimal Converter

Favorite

Convert between hex frames, text and decimal bytes, with byte count and non-printable characters — the most common first step in serial protocol debugging.

Key points

HEX ⇄ ASCII ⇄ Decimal Converter: Convert between hex frames, text and decimal bytes, with byte count and non-printable characters — the most common first step in serial protocol debugging. Formula: ASCII code = byte value; hex uses two digits per byte, 0x41 = "A". Enter parameters on the DD-CAT IDE online tool page to get results instantly, with a calculation-model diagram that updates with the inputs. Chinese characters are 3 bytes in UTF-8; on GBK devices confirm the encoding first or you will see mojibake.
