How to convert decimal to hex

Type a decimal number and the uppercase hex value appears as you type. Paste several numbers separated by spaces or new lines and each converts on its own, keeping the order.

Hex is base 16, so each digit covers four bits and the values 10 to 15 are written A to F. The output has no padding and no prefix, which keeps it ready to paste anywhere.

  • Type the decimal value, for example 255.
  • Read the hex output, for example FF.
  • Pad short results to two digits when you are building a byte or a colour.
  • Convert RGB channels one at a time rather than as a single number.
  • Press Copy result to take the hex output away.
Tips

Getting a better result out of Decimal to Hex Converter

Specific settings and thresholds, not general advice.

  • Hex output is uppercase and carries no 0x prefix and no zero padding, so 15 comes back as F, not 0F or 0x0F.
  • The one you use most: 255 is FF, 4,095 is FFF, 65,535 is FFFF, and 4,294,967,295 is FFFFFFFF.
  • For a hex colour, convert each RGB channel separately and pad each to two digits: 30, 144, 255 becomes 1E, 90, FF, which you assemble as #1E90FF.
  • Each hex digit is exactly four bits, so a value under 256 always fits in two digits and a value under 65,536 in four.
  • Parsing runs on arbitrary-precision integers, so a decimal far above the 9,007,199,254,740,991 float ceiling still converts to exact hex.
Limits

What Decimal to Hex Converter does not do

The honest boundary, so you do not lose time finding it yourself.

  • No zero padding, so single-digit results are not widened to a byte.
  • No 0x prefix and no lowercase output option.
  • Integers only, so a decimal fraction stops the conversion.
  • Negative values come back with a minus sign, not as two's complement.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Does my data get uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.

Is this free to use?

Yes. It is completely free, with no account, no signup, and no usage limits.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The page runs in any modern mobile browser, on iPhone and Android alike, with no app to install.

How do I turn RGB values into a hex colour?

Convert each channel on its own and pad each result to two digits. RGB(30, 144, 255) gives 1E, 90 and FF, which becomes #1E90FF. Do not paste the three numbers together, they are three separate bytes rather than one 24-bit value.

Why is 15 shown as F rather than 0F?

Because the converter prints the number without assuming a width. 0F only makes sense when you have decided the value lives in a byte. Pad the output to two characters yourself when you need byte alignment.

Why is the hex output uppercase?

It is the common convention for constants, colours and hashes, and hex is case-insensitive anyway, so FF and ff are the same value. Lowercase it after copying if your codebase prefers that.

Does the output include a 0x prefix?

No. The tool prints the digits only, so you can paste them into a colour, a config file, or a #define without stripping anything. Add 0x yourself if the target language needs it.

How large a number can I convert?

Effectively any size. Parsing uses arbitrary-precision integers, so a 20-digit decimal converts to exact hex, where a spreadsheet or a plain JavaScript number would start rounding above about 9 quadrillion.
