Decimal to ASCII Text Converter
To use decimal to ASCII text converter, type the space separated decimal values e.g. "118 122" and click on the Convert button and you will get the ASCII text value converted to "vz" on the right side. Every decimal value is converted to its ASCII equivalent character value and in this way conversions of upto 128 decimal values can be done which corresponds to 128 ASCII characters as shown in the table below. If the space is not used it may lead to a wrong answer.

Decimal Numeral System
Decimal number system are called base-10 and it used 10 different symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. It is the most common used system worldwide for representing both whole numbers and numbers with fractions. Each digit corresponds to a power of 10. The right most digit represent the power 100, and then the next digit on the left represents 101 and so on.
Example 1:
Consider the number 345. In expanded form, this is:
(3 × 102) + (4 × 101) + (5 × 100) = 300 + 40 + 5 = 345
Example 2:
For a decimal number like 27.53, the value can be borken down as:
(2 × 101) + (7 × 100) + (5 × 10-1) + (3 × 10-2) = 20 + 7 + 0.5 + 0.03 = 27.53
What is ASCII Text
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is widely used character encoding standard consisting of 128 characters. It includes uppercase and lowercase English letters, digits (0-9) and various punctuation marks (e.g. /, ?, !, & etc.). Since computers process numbers, ASCII assigns a unique numeric code to each character, enabling computers to store and display text. For Example uppercase letter 'T' has a decimal ASCII value of 84 (Hex: 54), while the lowercase letter 't' has a decimal value of 116 (Hex: 74).
How to Convert Decimal to ASCII Text
This tool is designed to provide best and error free conversions and it is really helpful for students, teachers and software engineers that may require such conversions in their embedded projects. You need to follow the steps summarized below to get the easy and fast conversion from decimal to ASCII text, You can also check our ASCII Text to Decimal Converter for the reverse conversions from ASCII strings to decimal. When we have a sequence of decimal numbers, each can be looked up in the ASCII table to find the character it represents.
Step 1: Split the sequence of decimal numbers and they should be separated by space delimiter.
Step 1: Every decimal value will be converted into a corresponding ASCII char value.
Step 2: Combine together all the ASCII chars to get the final ASCII string value.
Let's go through an example scenario in detail:
1: Suppose you have the decimal numbers sequence "72 101 108 108 111 32 87 111 114 108 100" separated by the space delimiter.
2: Convert each decimal value to the ASCII char using the table:
72 → H
101 → e
108 → l
108 → l
111 → o
32 → (space)
87 → W
111 → o
114 → r
108 → l
100 → d
3: Combine characters: "Hello World"

Frequently Ask Questions: Decimal to ASCII Conversion
Q1: What does decimal to ASCII conversion mean?
It means converting a decimal number (0–127) into its corresponding ASCII character.
Q2: How do I convert a decimal number to an ASCII character?
You have to look up the decimal number in the ASCII table and the corresponding character is the ASCII representation of that decimal value.
Q3: What decimal values represent printable ASCII characters?
The range of decimal values from 32 (space) to 126 (tilde ~) represent the printable ASCII characters.
Q4: Can decimal to ASCII conversion be used in programming?
Yes, Most programming languages have functions or methods to convert decimal numbers to characters using ASCII encoding. For example in embedded system, MODBUS communication protocol use ASCII values and you can use C language to implement the client server communication.
Q5: Why are uppercase and lowercase letters assigned different ASCII values?
To distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters, each is assigned a unique code (e.g., 'A' = 65, 'a' = 97).
