About hexadecimal to binary conversion

Number bases are just different ways of writing the same value: binary (base 2) uses digits 0–1, octal (base 8) uses 0–7, decimal (base 10) uses 0–9 and hexadecimal (base 16) uses 0–9 plus A–F. This converter parses your input as an arbitrary-precision integer and re-renders it in the target base — instantly and privately, in your browser.

Quick reference

  • 1010 in binary = 12 in octal = 10 in decimal = A in hexadecimal
  • Hexadecimal digits: A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15
  • Each octal digit maps to exactly 3 binary digits; each hex digit maps to exactly 4
