About Hex to Binary Converter

Hexadecimal to binary conversion translates base-16 numbers (using digits 0-9 and letters a-f) into base-2 notation composed entirely of 0s and 1s. Because each hexadecimal digit maps directly to a four-bit binary group, this conversion is fundamental in computing, digital electronics, and low-level programming. Engineers and developers regularly convert hex values to binary when analyzing memory dumps, inspecting register contents, debugging network packets, or working with bitwise operations.

This free online converter supports everything from single hex digits to arbitrarily large hexadecimal numbers using BigInt for full precision. You can convert multiple hex values at once by entering each on a separate line, and any 0x prefix is automatically stripped. All processing runs entirely in your browser — no data is ever sent to a server, so your input stays completely private. No sign-up, no ads, just instant hex-to-binary conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hex to binary conversion? expand_more
Hex to binary conversion translates a base-16 number (using digits 0-9 and letters a-f) into a base-2 number (using only digits 0 and 1). Each hex digit corresponds to exactly four binary digits — for example, hex f equals binary 1111, and hex ff equals binary 11111111.
How does hex to binary conversion work? expand_more
Each hexadecimal digit is converted to its four-bit binary equivalent. For example, hex 3e8 is split into 3 → 0011, e → 1110, 8 → 1000, giving binary 1111101000 (leading zeros are dropped from the final result).
Can this tool handle very large hex numbers? expand_more
Yes. For hexadecimal numbers longer than 13 digits (which exceed the precision of standard JavaScript numbers), the tool automatically uses BigInt to perform the conversion with full accuracy. There is no practical limit on the size of hex input.
Is my data secure? expand_more
Absolutely. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, so your hexadecimal input and binary output remain completely private.
