What people use ASCII Converter for

• Converting text to its ASCII or Unicode code points for a homework exercise.
• Decoding a string of decimal or hexadecimal codes back into readable text.
• Inspecting exactly which characters a string contains when something invisible is breaking a parser.

ASCII Converter: limits and things worth knowing

• ASCII proper defines 128 characters, 0-127. Anything above that is Unicode, and the byte values depend on the encoding — most commonly UTF-8.
• In UTF-8 a character can be one to four bytes, so the code point and the byte count are different numbers. Accented letters and emoji are where the two diverge.
• Codes 0-31 are control characters with no visible form. They are a frequent cause of a file that looks correct and will not parse.
• The difference between an ASCII hyphen and a Unicode en dash, or a straight and a curly quote, is invisible on screen and fatal in code — this is a quick way to find one.

Is it private and secure?

Your privacy is built in. ASCII Converter runs completely on your device, so whatever you enter stays in your browser and is never transmitted, logged or stored on any server.

Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.

You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.
