This online HEX to file converter allows you to convert hexadecimal data into binary files and download them directly.
Quickly convert HEX to file and download in your browser with no server upload.
This tool allows you to convert hexadecimal (HEX) encoded data back into downloadable files. It automatically detects common file types from the data signature and supports multiple HEX input formats for maximum compatibility.
How it works: The converter parses hexadecimal data in various formats, converts it back to binary form, then uses magic number detection to identify file types and generate downloadable files with appropriate extensions.
Supported HEX formats:
Plain
- Simple uppercase or lowercase hex characters (DEADBEEF or deadbeef)With Dashes
- Pairs separated by dashes (DE-AD-BE-EF)With 0x Prefix
- Each byte has 0x prefix (0xDE 0xAD 0xBE 0xEF)With Colons
- Pairs separated by colons (DE:AD:BE:EF)With Spaces
- Pairs separated by spaces (DE AD BE EF)Supported file types:

If the file type cannot be detected, the file will be saved as a .bin file. You can also manually specify the file name with the desired extension. All conversion is performed locally in your browser.
Essential for cybersecurity professionals, forensic investigators, and security analysts who need to reconstruct files from hexadecimal dumps, memory captures, and network traffic.
Critical for system administrators, IT support professionals, and data recovery specialists who work with low-level system data, backup files, and corrupted storage recovery.
This HEX to file converter is valuable for software developers, reverse engineers, and researchers working with binary data analysis and file format research.
Advanced file type detection using magic numbers (file signatures) enables automatic identification of file formats without relying on filename extensions or metadata.
Robust parsing engine handles various hexadecimal representations and formatting conventions used by different tools, systems, and documentation standards.
Comprehensive error detection and correction capabilities ensure reliable file reconstruction even from partially corrupted or incomplete hexadecimal data sources.
Security Note: Always verify the integrity and safety of reconstructed files, especially when working with data from untrusted sources or forensic investigations.
