What does this tool convert between?

Text and the numeric character codes behind each character — decimal, hexadecimal, binary, or octal, your choice. "Text → ASCII" shows the codes for text you type; "ASCII → Text" turns a list of codes back into readable text.

Does it only work with true ASCII (codes 0-127)?

No — despite the name, it works with the full range of character codes JavaScript strings support (UTF-16 code units), so accented letters, symbols, and many non-Latin characters convert correctly too, not just the original 128-character ASCII set.

What separator does ASCII → Text expect?

Codes separated by spaces, commas, or both — "72 101 108 108 111" and "72, 101, 108, 108, 111" both work.

What Is ASCII?

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) assigns every letter, digit, and common symbol a number from 0 to 127 — the letter "A" is 65, a space is 32, and so on. This tool converts text to those numeric codes, in decimal, hexadecimal, binary, or octal, and back again. It also handles character codes beyond 127 the same way, so accented letters and other Unicode characters convert correctly too.
