Our hex to text converter is a powerful tool that translates hexadecimal (base-16) representations of data into human-readable text.

Hexadecimal is a numeral system that uses 16 distinct symbols: the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. It’s commonly used in computing and digital systems due to its compact representation of binary data.

For example:

  • The hexadecimal string 48 65 6C 6C 6F converts to the text “Hello”
  • 57 6F 72 6C 64 translates to “World”

Hex to Text Conversion Formula

Text = ASCII(Hex_Pair_1) + ASCII(Hex_Pair_2) + ... + ASCII(Hex_Pair_n)

Where ASCII() is a function that converts a hex pair to its ASCII equivalent.

Let’s convert 48 65 78 to text:

  1. Group: 48, 65, 78
  2. Convert:
    • 48 → ASCII 72 → ‘H’
    • 65 → ASCII 101 → ‘e’
    • 78 → ASCII 120 → ‘x’
  3. Result: “Hex”

How do I convert a hex string to text?

  • Split the hex string into pairs
  • Convert each pair to its decimal ASCII value
  • Translate the ASCII value to its corresponding character

Converting 43 6F 64 65 to text:

  1. Split: 43, 6F, 64, 65
  2. Convert to decimal:
    • 43 = 67
    • 6F = 111
    • 64 = 100
    • 65 = 101
  3. Translate to characters:
    • 67‘C’
    • 111‘o’
    • 100‘d’
    • 101‘e’
  4. Result: “Code”

How to decrypt a hex string?

  1. Validate the hex string (ensure it contains valid hex characters)
  2. Parse the string into pairs
  3. Convert each pair to its ASCII equivalent
  4. Concatenate the resulting characters

Decrypting 4D 79 53 65 63 72 65 74:

Validate: All characters are valid hex (0-9, A-F)

Parse: 4D, 79, 53, 65, 63, 72, 65, 74

Convert:

  • 4D‘M’
  • 79‘y’
  • 53‘S’
  • 65‘e’
  • 63‘c’
  • 72‘r’
  • 65‘e’
  • 74‘t’

Concatenate: “MySecret”
