Binary To Hex Conversion

Binary to Hex

Convert numbers from Binary (base 2) to Hex (base 16) number system. 

How it Works?

To use this calculator, follow the below steps:

• Enter the Binary number in the given input box.
• You will see the calculated Hex number in the output box

Base 2 Number System

Bin (Decimal system) 

Also known as Binary number system. There are only 2 Decimal digits: 0 and 1.
This represents on and off state which is the only language a computer understands because it's the easiest way to switch instructions through electrical signals..

Binary is base 2.

0 1

A Byte [01001010] is the equivalence of 8bits

Base 16 Number System

hex (hexal / hexadecimal system)

Hex means 16. Numbers with base 16 comes under hex number system. It is also called as hexadecimal number system. To represent numbers in this number system it make use of 8 digits only they are digits from 0-9 and letters A-F. 
Hexadecimal is a convenient way to describe binary numbers in computers. Computers only work on the binary system, and a byte is usually defined as eight binary digits. 
One hexadecimal digit can represent the arrangement of four binary digits. Two hexadecimal digits can represent eight binary digits or a byte.

Hexadecimal is base 16.

The Importance of Hexadecimal

Hex (base-16) is frequently used in computing for memory addresses, color codes (like in web design), and compactly displaying large binary values. Compressing every four binary digits into a single hex digit simplifies how data is represented.

Streamlining Software Development

Many programmers shift to hex notation to read memory dumps more easily, debug low-level software, or interpret machine code. Mastering binary-hex conversions is a practical necessity if you’re coding in languages like C or assembly.

From Color Codes to Memory Addresses

Hexadecimal isn’t just for developers. Web designers often encounter hex color codes (e.g., #FF5733) to represent various shades. Since these codes map directly to RGB values, understanding binary-hex conversions can help you gain deeper insights into how colors are structured and displayed on the screen.
