IP Format Converter
Convert an IPv4 address between dotted decimal (192.168.1.1), decimal (3232235777), and hex. Handy when a script, database, or API expects one format and you have another. All conversion runs in your browser.
Convert IP Format
Enter dotted IPv4, decimal, or 8-character hex.
What Is an IP Format Converter?
The same IP can be written in different ways. Dotted decimal (192.168.1.1) is what most people see. In code or databases it’s often stored as a 32-bit integer (decimal) or as hex. An IP format converter takes one representation and gives you the others so you can plug the value into the system that expects a different format. We focus on IPv4 here. For mapping between IPv4 and IPv6 notation, use our IPv4 to IPv6 or IPv6 to IPv4 converters.
This doesn’t look up the IP or resolve hostnames — it only converts format. To check if a string is a valid IP, use IP address validator. To get location or ISP for an IP, use IP lookup.
How to Use the IP Format Converter
Type or paste an IP in dotted form (e.g. 192.168.1.1), as a decimal number (e.g. 3232235777), or as 8-character hex (e.g. C0A80101). The other formats update automatically. Use IP list validator to validate many IPs, or IP generator to create addresses to convert.
Features
- Dotted decimal ↔ decimal ↔ hex for IPv4
- Instant conversion as you type
- Runs in browser; no data sent
- Accepts any of the three input formats
Why Use This Tool
When you copy an IP from a log or database and need it in another form for a script or firewall rule. Combine with subnet calculator for network/broadcast, or reverse DNS lookup to get the hostname for an IP you’ve converted.
FAQs
What is an IP format converter?
It converts an IP address between different representations — for example dotted decimal (192.168.1.1) to decimal (3232235777) or to hex. Useful when a script or system expects one format.
What formats are supported?
We support dotted decimal (IPv4), decimal (32-bit number), and hex. IPv6 can be converted to hex or shortened notation.
Does it work for IPv6?
Yes. You can convert IPv6 between full and shortened form, or to hex. For IPv4–IPv6 mapping use our IPv4 to IPv6 or IPv6 to IPv4 converters.
Is the converter free?
Yes. Conversion runs in your browser. No signup, nothing sent to a server.
Why would I need decimal or hex IP?
Some databases store IPs as integers. Some APIs or tools use hex. Converting lets you match formats between systems.
