Hex decoder
Enter an even number of hexadecimal characters.
Decode hexadecimal bytes as UTF-8 text.
About this tool
The Hex decoder turns pairs of hexadecimal characters into bytes and reads those bytes as UTF-8 text. It requires an even number of valid hex digits, which helps catch incomplete input. Use it to inspect a text field from a protocol trace, decode a test fixture, or confirm the byte output from another system. Hexadecimal is a readable byte representation and offers no protection for sensitive data.
