Convert byte arrays to readable text strings — free online byte-to-text converter with ASCII and UTF-8 support.
Convert a byte array (e.g. [72, 101, 108, 108, 111]) into the corresponding text string (Hello) instantly. Supports ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16, and other encodings — perfect for developers, data analysts, and anyone working with raw binary data, network protocols, or file contents.
Decimal — 72,101,108,108,111 or 72 101 108 108 111
Hexadecimal — 48 65 6C 6C 6F or 0x48,0x65,0x6C,0x6C,0x6F
Binary — 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111
Comma-, space-, or newline-separated — the parser handles all common formats.
UTF-8 — the modern web standard; handles every script and emoji.
ASCII — 7-bit, English text only; flags non-ASCII bytes.
UTF-16 LE / BE — for Windows-native strings and Java internals.
Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) — legacy Western European encoding.
Decoding raw bytes from network captures (Wireshark, tcpdump). Inspecting file contents in low-level debugging. Reading binary protocol fields in IoT and embedded systems. Educational examples for teaching how computers store text. CTF puzzle solving and reverse engineering.
If your output looks like garbled text, try a different encoding — UTF-8 is the default but legacy systems may use Latin-1, Windows-1252, or Shift-JIS. For mixed binary and text, run the converter on individual byte ranges. Always confirm the encoding from your source's documentation when accuracy matters.
