Decimal to ASCII
Convert decimal values to ASCII characters and back. Space-separated decimals to text or text to decimals.
Free Decimal to ASCII Converter — ASCII Table Lookup Tool
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is the foundational character encoding of computing — every letter, digit, and punctuation mark in English corresponds to a decimal number from 32 to 126. This free Decimal to ASCII Converter instantly translates space-separated decimal values to their ASCII characters, and converts text back to decimal values, with a full ASCII table reference built in.
Enter space-separated decimal numbers (like 72 101 108 108 111) to decode them to text ("Hello"). Or enter any text to get the decimal ASCII values for each character. Useful for programming exercises, encoding/decoding tasks, CTF challenges, and data analysis.
ASCII is especially important to know for programming — character comparisons in code often use numeric values (e.g., checking if a character is between 65–90 for uppercase, 97–122 for lowercase, 48–57 for digits). Understanding the ASCII table makes string manipulation code much more intuitive.
Key ASCII Ranges
32–47. Space and basic punctuation: space, !, ", #, $, %, &, ', (, ), *, +, comma, -, ., /
48–57. Digits 0–9. Decimal 48 = '0', 57 = '9'. Used to check if a character is a digit: char >= 48 && char <= 57.
65–90. Uppercase letters A–Z. Decimal 65 = 'A', 90 = 'Z'. Difference between uppercase and lowercase is always 32.
97–122. Lowercase letters a–z. Decimal 97 = 'a', 122 = 'z'.
0–31 and 127. Control characters (non-printable): newline (10), carriage return (13), tab (9), null (0), backspace (8), escape (27).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ASCII table?
128-character encoding mapping decimals 0–127 to characters. 32–126 are printable. 0–31 are control codes.

ASCII vs Unicode?
ASCII = 128 characters (English only). Unicode = 143,000+ characters for all world scripts. ASCII 0–127 identical in UTF-8.
