ASCII Converter
Description
Behind every letter you read on a screen lies a numeric code. The ASCII Converter exposes this underlying structure. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) assigns a unique number to every character—for example, 'A' is 65 and '?' is 63. This tool allows you to translate plain text into these decimal codes and back again. It is an essential utility for understanding how data is stored, transmitted, and interpreted by computers.
What It Does
Converts text characters into their ASCII decimal values and translates ASCII codes back into readable text sequences.
How To Use
- Text to ASCII: Type words in the top box to generate a sequence of numbers.
- ASCII to Text: Paste space-separated numbers in the bottom box to reveal the hidden message.

Who It Is For
Programmers working with serial ports/IoT, students learning data structures, and cybersecurity analysts.
