Tools / Number base converter

Number base converter

Converts a value into all four common bases at once. Digits outside the input base are reported as an error rather than silently truncated — parseInt would quietly read “12z” as 12.

Runs entirely in your browser

About this tool

Convert a number between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal — all four at once from a single input. It is the quick reference for reading a hex colour, a binary flag, an octal permission or a memory address, and for moving a value between the bases that programming and networking use.

It validates properly: a digit that does not belong to the input base is reported as an error rather than silently truncated. That matters because the language built-in parseInt would quietly read “12z” as 12 and move on, hiding a typo behind a plausible number.

It runs in your browser, so conversions are instant. Use it whenever you need the same value in another base, or to check that a value you were given is valid in the base it claims to be.

Frequently asked questions

Which bases does it convert between?
Binary (base 2), octal (base 8), decimal (base 10) and hexadecimal (base 16), showing all of them at once for a given input.
What happens if I enter an invalid digit?
It reports an error rather than truncating. Unlike parseInt, which would silently read “12z” as 12, it tells you the input is not valid for the chosen base.
Can it convert hex to decimal and back?
Yes. Enter a value in any base and it produces the equivalent in all four, so hex-to-decimal (and every other pairing) is covered.
Is it done locally?
Yes. Conversion runs in your browser with nothing uploaded.
