IP Base Converter

What IP Address Conversion Does

An IPv4 address is usually written in the human-friendly dotted form (192.168.1.1), but under the hood it is a single 32-bit unsigned integer. You often need to move between these representations, for example when storing IPs as integers in a database, reading hex-encoded addresses in logs or packet dumps, or debugging bitwise operations.

This tool auto-detects the format of whatever you type, whether dotted IPv4, a decimal integer, hexadecimal (with a 0x prefix), or binary (with a 0b prefix), and computes all four representations. For example 192.168.1.1 is converted at once to the integer 3232235777, the hex 0xc0a80101, and its per-octet binary form.

Every conversion runs instantly in your browser and your input is never sent to a server, so even sensitive IP details are safe to enter.

How to Use

1. Type a value in any format. A dot makes it IPv4, a 0x prefix makes it hex, a 0b prefix makes it binary, and digits alone are read as a decimal integer.
2. Read all four representations, dotted, decimal integer, hex, and per-octet binary, from the result card at a glance.
3. Use the copy button next to the representation you need to paste it into your code or query.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of storing an IP as an integer?

A single integer takes less space than a string and makes comparison, sorting, and range lookups much faster. Queries like WHERE ip BETWEEN a AND b and indexing become far more efficient, which is why systems handling large volumes of IP data often store them as integers.

Why is 192.168.1.1 equal to 3232235777?

Each octet is shifted left by 8 bits and summed: 192×256³ + 168×256² + 1×256 + 1 = 3232235777. That is exactly the same value as the hex 0xC0A80101.

What is the maximum value I can enter?

Because IPv4 is 32 bits, valid values run from 0 to 4294967295 (2³²-1, or 0xffffffff in hex). Anything outside that range, or in an unrecognized format, is rejected as an error.
