Text to Hex Converter

What is Hexadecimal?

Hexadecimal (or hex) is a base-16 number system. It uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols 0-9 to represent values zero to nine, and A-F (or a-f) to represent values ten to fifteen.

Key Points About Hexadecimal:

• Uses 16 as its base instead of 10 (decimal) or 2 (binary)
• Commonly used in computing and digital systems
• Each hex digit represents 4 binary digits (bits)
• Often used to represent colors in web design
• Useful for representing large numbers with fewer digits

How Hex Conversion Works

Hex conversion is the process of translating human-readable text into its hexadecimal representation. Here's a brief overview:

1. Each character in the text is converted to its ASCII code
2. The ASCII code is then converted to its hexadecimal equivalent
3. For hex to text, the process is reversed
4. Each pair of hex digits represents one character

This converter allows you to easily switch between text and its hexadecimal representation, which can be useful for various programming, debugging, and data processing tasks.
