The Base Converter tool encodes ASCII into numeric representations across bases ranging from binary (base-2) up to base-36 and decodes numbers in these bases back into readable text. Each character in the input text is converted to its corresponding code point and then represented in the selected base, making it possible to work with a wide range of numbering systems beyond the standard decimal or hexadecimal formats.
For example, cat can be converted to binary as 01100011 01100001 01110100, to hexadecimal as 63 61 74, or to base-36 as 2R 2P 38. Similarly, entering a valid sequence in any supported base allows the tool to decode it back into the original text. This flexibility is valuable for programmers, cryptographers, educators, and anyone exploring numerical encoding in different bases.
By supporting conversion across multiple bases, the Base Converter helps users visualize and manipulate text in alternative numeric systems, facilitating encoding, decoding, experimentation, and learning about various numbering schemes.
