Binary to Hex

What Is the Binary to Hex Converter

This binary to hex conversion tool lets you instantly convert binary numbers to the hex (hexadecimal) numbering format. Hex is a more compact and easy-to-read format than binary thanks to being only a quarter of the length.

The converter is incredibly user-friendly, delivers results in seconds, and doesn't require a download or account to use.

How to Convert Binary to Hex Manually

In addition to using our tool to convert binary to hex automatically, you can also do it on your own. However, keep in mind there are a few steps involved and it'll take longer.

1. First, you'll need to convert the binary to a decimal number.
   1. Starting with the rightmost digit of the binary number, multiply each digit by the powers of 2. Start with 20 and then increase the exponent by one each time you move down the binary number from right to left.
   2. After performing the multiplication, add the sum of each digit together and the number you're left with is your decimal number.
2. Once you have your decimal number, convert it to a hex number.
   1. Divide the decimal number by 16.
   2. If the whole number (before decimal point) is still over 15, repeat the division until you get a number under 15 (make sure to keep track of your remainders, the number after the decimal, each time).
   3. Once the result is 15 or less, take the whole number and look up the hex value for that whole number in an online chart.
   4. Next, take your remainders (beginning with the most recent remainder) and multiply each one by 16.
   5. The result of each equation will be the next digits in the hex number (make sure to look up the hex value of each digit in a chart like you did earlier).
