ASCII Text to Decimal Converter
To use ASCII text to decimal converter, type an ASCII value e.g. "friend" and click on the Convert button and you will get the decimal converted value "102 114 105 101 110 100". Every character is converted to its decimal value and in this way conversions of upto 128 ASCII characters can be done. Space is also considered as a valid value and it is converted to ASCII decimal value of 32.

What is ASCII Text
American Standard Code for Information Interchange "ASCII" is the character encoding standard for data communication, interpretation and debugging raw data. It is based on 7-bits codes (128 values) which includes English Alphabets in uppercase and lowercase, numbers (0-9) and several punctuation marks.
Decimal Numeral System
In number system, decimal number system is called base-10 number system and it consists of numbers from 0 to 9.
Example 1:
Let's look at the number 582. In expanded form, it becomes:
(5 × 102) + (8 × 101) + (2 × 100) = 500 + 80 + 2 = 582
Example 2:
The decimal number 46.79 can be written as:
(4 × 101) + (6 × 100) + (7 × 10-1) + (9 × 10-2) = 40 + 6 + 0.7 + 0.09 = 46.79
How to Convert ASCII Text to Decimal
ASCII to decimal conversion is the reverse of Decimal to ASCII Text Conversion and here we tranform readable characters into their numeric decimal equivalents. This process is extremely essential in computer science and digital communications where text needs to be represented numerically. This numeric representation is fundamental because computers inherently understand numbers, not characters. You can use our easy to use converter tool which can instantly convert ASCII values into their corresponding decimal ASCII values. You need to follow the following steps:
Step 1: Break down the text into the list of character.
Step 1: For every character find the corresponding decimal value from ASCII table.
Step 2: The final value is the decimal equivalence of the text.
Consider the following step-by-step example for ASCII to decimal conversion:
1: Consider the text data is Dial Code: 189. Break down this text into individual characters i.e. D, i, a, l, (space), C, o, d, e, :, (space), 1, 8, 9
2: Find the decimal codes:
D → 68
i → 105
a → 97
l → 108
(space) → 32
C → 67
o → 111
d → 100
e → 101
: → 58
(space) → 32
1 → 49
8 → 56
9 → 57
3: Combine together all the decimal codes for the final outcome: 68 105 97 108 32 67 111 100 101 58 32 49 56 57
Besides that it is important to remember that numbers mentioned in the text e.g. "345 1299" will be converted into "51 52 53 32 49 50 57 57".
Examples
- Alpha !") = (65 108 112 104 97 32 33 34 41)10
- ABC /()%$ = (65 66 67 32 47 40 41 37 36)10
- Encoding = (69 110 99 111 100 105 110 103)10
- Hi Tina = (72 105 32 84 105 110 97)10
- ASCII To Decimal = (65 83 67 73 73 32 84 111 32 68 101 99 105 109 97 108)10
- Give me 9$ = (71 105 118 101 32 109 101 32 57 36)10
- 100$ is good = (49 48 48 36 32 105 115 32 103 111 111 100)10
Frequently Ask Questions: ASCII Text to Decimal Conversion
Q1: How do I convert text characters to decimal codes?
Each character in the text is mapped to its ASCII decimal value, which can be done manually using ASCII tables.
Q2: Can ASCII decimal codes represent special characters?
Yes, ASCII includes codes for punctuation, digits, and special symbols like !, @, #, etc.
Q3: What happens if I try to convert non-ASCII text to decimal values?
Characters outside the ASCII range (such as accented letters or emojis) don’t have standard ASCII codes and are typically handled by extended encoding schemes like UTF-8.
Q4: Why do computers convert text to decimal codes?
Computers process and store data numerically. Converting text to decimal codes allows machines to manipulate and transmit text data efficiently.
Q5: What is the decimal code for the ampersand "&" ?
The decimal value of the ampersand "&" is 38.
