Text to ASCII

Convert each character to its ASCII decimal code. Useful for encoding, debugging, or understanding character codes.

About this tool

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) assigns a number from 0 to 127 to common characters. This tool converts each character in your text to its decimal code (e.g. A → 65, space → 32). Helpful for low-level debugging, encoding tasks, or learning how text is represented.

How to use

Enter or paste the text you want to convert.
Click Convert to ASCII.
The result is space-separated decimal codes for each character.

When to use this tool

Debugging character encoding: see the numeric code for each character.
Preparing data for systems that expect ASCII code sequences.
Learning how text is represented (e.g. A = 65, space = 32).
Checking for invisible or special characters in pasted text.

Tips

ASCII covers 0–127. Characters above 127 (e.g. accented letters) still get a code (Unicode code point in many environments).
Common codes: space 32, 0–9 are 48–57, A–Z are 65–90, a–z are 97–122.

FAQ

What is ASCII?: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) assigns numbers 0–127 to characters like letters, digits, and symbols. Extended ASCII or Unicode go beyond 127.
Why do some characters show numbers above 127?: This tool uses the character code your environment uses (often Unicode). So é might show 233 or a larger number. Pure ASCII only goes up to 127.
