Encode Text into Base16 Online Tool

Encode text into Base16 in your browser. Base16 is a binary data to text encoding scheme so this tool will convert the input text into binary data and then encode the binary data into Base16 text.

How to Use

1. Enter plain text into the input box.

2. Press the "Encode" button and the bytes of the text will be converted into Base16 encoded text characters.

3. Pressing the "Decode" button will convert Base16 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.
