What is the Hexadecimal to Decimal Converter?
This tool converts hexadecimal numbers (base-16) to decimal numbers (base-10), making hex values human-readable.
Why Convert Hex to Decimal?
Hexadecimal conversion is useful for:
- Web development — understanding color codes (#FFFFFF = 16,777,215)
- Programming — reading memory addresses and pointers
- Networking — MAC addresses, IPv6
- Digital forensics — analyzing binary files
The Conversion
Each hex digit represents 4 bits. A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15.
Example: 2A = 2×16 + 10×1 = 32 + 10 = 42
How to Use
- Enter hex number — use digits 0-9 and letters A-F
- View decimal result — conversion is instant
- Copy the value — for use in calculations or code
Common Hex Values
- FF = 255 (max byte value)
- 100 = 256 (one byte overflow)
- FFFF = 65,535 (max 16-bit value)
- FFFFFF = 16,777,215 (white color)
Case Insensitive
Both uppercase (FF) and lowercase (ff) are accepted and produce the same result.
