Use the toggles to insert spaces between numbers or join them into a continuous string. When your output looks correct, click “Copy Output” or “Export to File” to save it. If you need a fresh start, use the “Clear All” button to reset the input and options.

What the Convert Text to a Number Tool can do:

This tool translates each character in your input into a corresponding number. Depending on your settings, it will output ASCII codes (0–127), full Unicode values, or uppercase hexadecimal representations. You can separate values with spaces for readability or join them to generate compact numeric output. Everything runs locally in your browser, which keeps your data secure and responsive. File imports are supported for formats like .txt, .csv, .md, and others.

Example:

Input:

Hi!

ASCII with spaces:

72 105 33

Unicode joined:

7210533

Hex with spaces:

48 69 21

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool to convert short phrases, code snippets, or entire paragraphs into numeric formats for debugging, encoding, or educational purposes. Developers might inspect character values, while teachers can explain encoding systems like ASCII or Unicode. Thanks to its flexible formatting and real-time feedback, the tool works well for both quick checks and structured transformations.
