How to Decode ASCII Codes to Text
Paste space or comma-separated decimal ASCII code values into the box above and they decode to plain text instantly. Each number is interpreted as a character code, so standard letters, numbers, and punctuation decode back to their original characters.
Example
The codes 72 101 108 108 111 decode to "Hello" — 72 is the ASCII value for "H", 101 for "e", and so on.
Common Use Cases
- Decoding ASCII code lists from homework, puzzles, or programming exercises.
- Reading character codes copied from a debugger, spreadsheet, or database export.
- Converting a list of code points back into a readable message.
FAQs
What format should the ASCII codes be in?
Enter decimal (base-10) numbers separated by spaces or commas, for example 72 101 108. Codes outside the standard ASCII/Unicode range will show an error.
Does this only work with standard ASCII (0-127)?
No — it also accepts extended Unicode code points beyond 127, so codes for accented letters, symbols, and other characters decode correctly too.
Does this tool also convert text to ASCII codes?
This page is decode-only, for a simpler, focused experience. Use our separate Text to ASCII tool if you need to convert plain text into ASCII code values instead.
