FAQ
What hex formats are accepted?
Space-separated pairs (48 65 6c), no separators (48656c), and 0x-prefixed pairs (0x48 0x65) are all accepted - the tool strips non-hex characters before decoding.
Does this support Unicode text?
Yes - text is encoded and decoded as UTF-8, so multi-byte characters like emoji round-trip correctly.
What happens with an odd number of hex digits?
The tool shows an error, since each byte needs exactly two hex digits - check for a missing or extra character.
Can I convert text to hex as well?
Yes - switch to "Text to hex" mode to see any text converted into its space-separated hex byte representation.
