Decimal to ASCII Conversion
This converter allows you to convert decimal numbers (base-10) into ASCII characters, and vice versa.
How to Use This Converter
- Enter a decimal number (e.g., 65) to see the corresponding ASCII character
- Or enter ASCII text to get its decimal representation
This converter supports both conversions: decimal to ASCII and ASCII to decimal.
Understanding the Conversion
Each ASCII character is represented by a number between 0 and 127. These numbers correspond to letters, digits, symbols, and control characters.
For example:
- 65 → 'A'
- 66 → 'B'
- 97 → 'a'
- 32 → (space character)
You can use our ASCII table to look up any character's decimal code.
Example
Convert the decimal values 72 101 108 108 111
to ASCII:
- 72 → H
- 101 → e
- 108 → l
- 108 → l
- 111 → o
Result: "Hello"
Why This Is Useful
Decimal to ASCII conversions are useful when dealing with low-level data formats, communication protocols, or debugging output from devices that show ASCII values in numeric form.
This kind of conversion is common in programming, networking, and embedded systems.
