ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that assigns numeric codes to letters, digits, punctuation marks, and control characters. Originally developed for telegraphy, it became the foundation for modern character encoding systems.
Our Text to ASCII and ASCII to Text Converter provides a comprehensive tool for working with ASCII codes in multiple formats. Whether you're debugging text encoding issues, learning about character encoding, preparing data for programming, or working with legacy systems, this converter makes ASCII manipulation easy and intuitive.
The tool supports all standard ASCII characters (0-127) and extended ASCII (128-255), with options for decimal, binary, hexadecimal, and octal representations. All conversions happen in real-time, right in your browser, with no data sent to external servers.
Pro Tip: For programming, use hex format (0x) with comma separators. For debugging text, use decimal format with spaces. Enable "Show Character Names" to learn about control characters and special symbols.
