Number System Converter
Convert between decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal with instant, exact, client-side results.

What is the Number System Converter?
The Number System Converter lets you translate a value between decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal instantly. It is built for developers, students, and anyone who needs exact base conversion without leaving the browser.
The tool accepts common prefixes like 0b, 0o, and 0x, handles negative integers, and supports very large values through BigInt-based conversion. You can also control digit grouping and hex casing to match coding, debugging, and documentation workflows.
Use it to inspect bitmasks, read hex dumps, verify manual conversion homework, or quickly move between programmer-friendly number formats. Every conversion stays client-side, so your input is processed locally and remains in your browser.
How it works
Start by choosing the base your input is written in. The converter accepts binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal, and it also recognizes standard prefixes such as 0b, 0o, and 0x.
Before conversion, the tool trims whitespace, removes underscore separators, and validates that every character belongs to the selected base. If the input contains invalid digits, the tool shows a clear error instead of producing a misleading result.
Conversion engine
The value is parsed into a BigInt so the result stays exact even for very large integers. That avoids the precision loss that can happen with ordinary floating-point number handling.
Once parsed, the same integer is formatted into all supported bases. Decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal are derived from the exact same value, so every output stays synchronized.
Formatting options
Digit grouping makes long values easier to read. Binary is grouped in 4-bit chunks, octal in 3-digit chunks, and hexadecimal in 2-digit chunks.
You can also switch hexadecimal output between uppercase and lowercase to match the style used in code, logs, or specifications. This is especially useful when copying values into source code or documentation.
Output details
Along with the converted values, the tool also shows bit length and byte length for quick technical inspection. That helps when checking bitmasks, packet data, IDs, and other integer-based values.
Each converted representation is easy to copy, so you can paste the exact format you need into an editor, terminal, spreadsheet, or debugging session.
Examples
Convert hex to all bases
See a hexadecimal value as binary, octal, and decimal instantly.
Check a binary value
Paste a binary string and read the decimal, octal, and hexadecimal forms.
Work with prefixes
Use common base prefixes and keep the input readable with separators.
Frequently asked questions
What number bases does this converter support?
What number bases does this converter support?
It supports decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal. These are the most common bases used in programming, digital systems, and low-level debugging.
Does it support prefixes like 0x, 0b, and 0o?
Does it support prefixes like 0x, 0b, and 0o?
Yes. The converter accepts standard prefixes and strips them automatically during parsing. That makes it easier to paste values directly from code or logs.
Can I convert very large numbers?
Can I convert very large numbers?
Yes. The tool uses BigInt internally, so it can handle integers far beyond JavaScript's safe integer limit. That makes it suitable for large IDs, hashes, and other exact integer values.
Does the converter work with negative numbers?
Does the converter work with negative numbers?
Yes. You can enter negative values in any supported base, and the tool will preserve the sign while converting. Invalid digit combinations are still rejected with a clear error.
Why are digits grouped in the output?
Why are digits grouped in the output?
Grouping makes long binary, octal, and hexadecimal values easier to scan. It helps when reading bit patterns, memory-style values, or values copied from programming environments.
Is my input sent to a server?
Is my input sent to a server?
No. All conversion happens in the browser on the client side. Your data stays local while you use the tool.
