Decode Base16 into Text Online Tool

Decodes Base16 encoded text into plain text. Base16 is binary-to-text encoding schema and this tool will convert the Base16 text into binary data and then convert the binary back into plaintext.

How to Use

1. Enter Base16 encoded text into the input box.

2. Press the "Decode" button and Base16 encoded text characters will be decoded into text characters.

3. Pressing the "Decode" button will convert Base64 encoded text in the output box back to the input box

About Base16

Base16 is a binary to text encoding scheme that is identical to hexadecimal notation. Every byte of the binary data is converted into two hexadecimal characters.

Character Encoding

The selection of character encoding affects how the input text characters are converted into binary data. As Base16 encodes binary data, selecting different text encoding for the input characters results in different Base16 output.

UTF-8 / ASCII	UTF-8 is the 8-bit Unicode encoding. It is designed to be backwards compatible with ASCII encoding and encoded text will be identical to ASCII if only ASCII characters are used as input.
UTF-16	UTF-16 is the 16-bit Unicode encoding. It is the standard encoding used for Strings in Java and Javascript.
UTF-32	UTF-32 is the 32-bit Unicode encoding. Each character in UTF-32 has the same value as its codepoint.
