Encode and decode
text = Hello, world!mode = encode
Result: Enter text and select Encode to see the Hex output.
Hex Decoder
Decode hexadecimal data back to its original text. Hex encoding uses pairs of characters (0-9, a-f) to represent bytes. This tool reverses the encoding, restoring the original text. Hex is an encoding, not encryption - it provides no confidentiality. Anyone can decode it trivially. Use it for data transport or format compatibility, never for secrets. Everything runs in your browser.
Privacy: this tool processes your data entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste or type is sent to the server.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hex the same as encryption?
No. Hex is an encoding - a reversible transformation that anyone can undo. Encryption requires a key to reverse. Never use encoding to protect sensitive data.
Why does my decoded output look wrong?
Common causes: (1) the input was encoded with a different character set, (2) the input has extra whitespace or line breaks, (3) the input is corrupted. Try trimming whitespace and verifying the source.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Encoding and decoding happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.
