Decode UTF-8 hex byte pairs back into text, entirely in your browser.

What this tool does

Each hex pair from 00 to ff is treated as one UTF-8 byte and decoded back into characters. Invalid pairs, or byte sequences that are not valid UTF-8, are reported instead of producing garbled text.

How to use it

  1. Paste hex byte pairs, separated by spaces or commas.
  2. Read the decoded text below.
  3. Copy the text once it looks right.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.

Frequently asked questions

Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding happens with JavaScript in your browser tab, so the hex bytes never leave your device.
Do I need to include a 0x prefix?
No. Enter the hex pairs on their own, separated by spaces or commas, without a 0x prefix.
What happens with invalid UTF-8 bytes?
A message explains that the byte sequence is not valid UTF-8, instead of showing corrupted or replacement characters.
