Number Base Converter

Our converter supports the four most commonly used number bases: Binary (base 2), Octal (base 8), Decimal (base 10), and Hexadecimal (base 16). These cover the vast majority of use cases in programming and computer science.

The converter can handle numbers up to JavaScript's safe integer limit (2^53 - 1). For most practical applications including programming and education, this provides more than sufficient range.

For hexadecimal input, use digits 0-9 and letters A-F (case insensitive). You don't need to include the '0x' prefix - just enter the hex digits directly. For example, enter 'FF' not '0xFF'.

Currently, the converter focuses on positive integers for simplicity and clarity. This covers the majority of use cases in programming, networking, and educational contexts. Negative number support may be added in future updates.

The current version supports integer conversions only. Fractional number base conversion is more complex and less commonly needed. We're considering adding this feature based on user feedback.

Yes, absolutely! The converter uses JavaScript's built-in parseInt() and toString() methods with proper base parameters, ensuring accuracy for all programming and computational needs within the supported range.

You can verify results by converting back to the original base, using a calculator with programmer mode, or checking against known values. Our tool also shows all four bases simultaneously for easy cross-verification.

Leading zeros are automatically removed in decimal and hexadecimal representations as they don't affect the number's value. Binary representations may show leading zeros for clarity when working with specific bit widths.
