From Base-16 to Text: Decoding HEX 🔡

Hexadecimal (base-16) is a number system widely used in computing as a human-friendly representation of binary data. Each HEX digit represents four binary digits (bits), making it much more compact and easier to read than a long string of 0s and 1s. This tool reverses that representation, turning HEX codes back into readable text.

How the Decoding Works

The conversion from hexadecimal to text is a two-step process for each pair of HEX digits:

  1. HEX to Decimal: The tool first converts each two-digit hexadecimal number into its equivalent decimal (base-10) number. For example, the HEX number 48 is converted to the decimal number 72.
  2. Decimal to Character: It then uses this decimal number as an ASCII code to find the corresponding character. In the ASCII table, the number 72 represents the uppercase letter 'H'.

Let's decode the sequence `48 65 6C 6C 6F`:

  • 48 → Decimal 72 → 'H'
  • 65 → Decimal 101 → 'e'
  • 6C → Decimal 108 → 'l'
  • 6C → Decimal 108 → 'l'
  • 6F → Decimal 111 → 'o'

The final result is "Hello". This tool automates this process, making it invaluable for anyone working with data dumps, network packets, or any other context where text is represented in hexadecimal format.
