Binary to Hex Converter: Fast and Simple

Use this binary to hex converter for quick, accurate results. Type a binary number and get a hexadecimal value. The tool also shows the decimal value and the steps.

How It Works

The converter cleans spaces from your input. It checks that you used only 0 and 1. It converts binary to decimal. Then it converts decimal to uppercase hexadecimal with 0x. You also see a detailed breakdown under Conversion Details. The breakdown groups bits in sets of four from the right. It maps each group to a hexadecimal digit A through F or 0 through 9.

Why Use the Binary to Hex Tool?

Hexadecimal shortens long binary strings and keeps values readable. Each hexadecimal digit equals four bits and compresses data by four. Fewer digits help prevent slips in code and notes. Common uses include:

• Debugging bit flags and registers
• Reading memory addresses in logs and tools
• Working with color values in design and graphics
• Studying base conversions for exams and interviews
• Teaching number systems in class or workshops

How to Use This Tool

Follow these steps.

1. Input Your Binary Number

Type a sequence of 0 and 1 into the field. Use these tips for clean input:

• You can paste long strings with spaces
• Spaces get ignored during conversion
• Keep leading zeros if they matter for width
• Only digits 0 and 1 pass validation

2. Click Convert or Press Enter

Click Convert to Hex or press Enter to run the conversion. The converter also updates after a short pause as you type.

3. See Your Hex Result

You will see two lines under Result. Hexadecimal shows as 0x followed by uppercase digits. Decimal shows the base ten value. Conversion Details lists each step. It shows the input with spaces every four bits. It shows 4 bit groups and the hex for each group. It also repeats the final hexadecimal and decimal values.

Notes, Limits, and Examples

A few quick notes help you get the best results.

• The converter uses browser number types for math
• Exact range covers up to 53 bits for decimal and hex
• For very long inputs above this range, convert in parts
• Use the Quick Reference table to map groups of four
• The tool formats hex in uppercase and adds the 0x prefix
• Empty input triggers a friendly prompt to enter a binary number
• Any character beyond 0 and 1 shows an error message

Examples you can try

• 10101010 becomes 0xAA and decimal 170
• 1111 0000 1011 becomes 0xF0B and decimal 3851
• 1001 becomes 0x9 and decimal 9
