Binary to Hex Converter

About binary and hex

Binary is base 2 — every digit is a bit, 0 or 1. It is what hardware actually stores, and it surfaces anywhere bit flags, masks or permissions do. Code usually writes it with a 0b prefix.

Hexadecimal is base 16 — digits 0–9 then a–f. One hex digit is exactly four bits, so bytes read as tidy two-digit pairs. Colors, memory addresses and hashes are all conventionally written in hex with a 0x prefix.

For example, binary 11010110 is d6 in hex. The converter uses BigInt, so numbers of any size convert without losing precision, entirely in the browser.
