About the ASCII Code to Text Converter

Paste a list of numbers, such as 72 101 108 108 111, and this converter turns each number into its character, giving “Hello”. Numbers can be separated by spaces, commas, semicolons or line breaks.

Decimal numbers are accepted, and so are hexadecimal numbers written with a 0x prefix. Any Unicode code point up to 1,114,111 works, so accented letters and emoji can be decoded too. Invalid values are reported with a clear message.

How to use it

  1. Paste the character codes.
  2. Click Convert to Text.
  3. Copy the decoded text.
