Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What formats of bytes input does this tool accept?

The tool accepts Python bytes literal format (e.g., b'hello'), hex strings (e.g., 68656c6c6f), and raw byte sequences. It automatically detects the format and processes accordingly.

Which encodings are supported?

The tool supports UTF-8, ASCII, Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1), UTF-16, UTF-32, and Windows-1252 encodings. UTF-8 is the default as it's the most common for modern applications.

Does this tool work with binary files?

This tool works with bytes data that you paste or type. For binary files, you would need to extract the bytes first (e.g., using Python's open() in binary mode) and then paste the bytes here.

Is there a limit to the amount of data I can decode?

The tool can handle reasonable amounts of data (up to several megabytes). For extremely large datasets, consider processing in chunks or using local tools.
