FAQ
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
Can I convert more than one number at a time?
Yes — paste multiple decimal numbers separated by spaces, commas, or newlines and each converts independently.
Does it support negative numbers?
Yes — a negative decimal number converts to its octal representation with a leading minus sign.
Can I go from octal back to decimal?
Yes — see the companion Octal to Decimal tool for the reverse conversion.
