What is Hex to Text?

Hexadecimal represents bytes as two-character base-16 values. This converter handles ASCII and UTF-8 text-to-hex in both directions.

How it works

We iterate through each character, get its char code, and convert to a two-digit hex string. Decoding reverses the process, handling both spaced and unspaced hex.
