Convert text to ASCII codes

This tool shows the decimal code number behind each character you type, the value defined by the ASCII and Unicode standards. Codes are listed space-separated, one per character, so a short word becomes a tidy row of numbers. It is handy for teaching how characters map to numbers, for debugging stray symbols, or for puzzles built on code points. As with every tool here, the conversion is instant and stays on your device.

About the numbers

Printable ASCII runs from 32 for a space up to 126 for the tilde; codes above that cover extended and Unicode characters.

Frequently asked questions

Are these ASCII or Unicode codes?

For standard English text they are identical. The numbers are character codes, which match ASCII for the first 128 values and Unicode beyond that.

How do I read it back?

Paste the numbers into the ASCII-to-text tool, separated by spaces or commas, to rebuild the original text.
