Ascii converter

5 of 2 ratings

An ASCII Converter is a tool that allows you to convert text into ASCII codes and vice versa. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that represents text in computers, communication systems, and digital devices.

How ASCII Works

  • Each character (letters, numbers, symbols) is assigned a unique number (ASCII code).
  • Standard ASCII uses 7 bits (values from 0 to 127).
  • Extended ASCII uses 8 bits (values from 0 to 255), including special characters like Γ©, Γ±, ΓΌ.

Conversion Capabilities

  1. Text to ASCII Codes
    • Converts each character into its corresponding ASCII numeric value.
    • Example: "Hello" β†’ 72 101 108 108 111
  2. ASCII to Text
    • Converts a sequence of ASCII values back into readable characters.
    • Example: 72 101 108 108 111 β†’ "Hello"
  3. ASCII to Binary
    • Represents ASCII codes in binary format (8-bit representation).
    • Example: "A" β†’ 65 (decimal) β†’ 01000001 (binary)
  4. Binary to ASCII
    • Converts binary representations of ASCII codes back to text.
    • Example: 01000001 β†’ A
  5. ASCII to Hexadecimal
    • Converts ASCII codes into hex values, useful for encoding and debugging.
    • Example: "A" β†’ 65 (decimal) β†’ 41 (hex)
  6. Hex to ASCII
    • Converts hexadecimal representations back to readable text.
    • Example: 41 (hex) β†’ A

Common Use Cases
