Prefixes 0b, 0o, and 0x are accepted where a field says “integer”. Underscores and visual spacing are ignored where appropriate. Your values stay in this browser.

What is endianness?

Endianness changes the order of bytes in a multi-byte value while preserving the bits inside each byte.

Use it to inspect big-endian and little-endian byte layouts.

Worked interpretation

Read the result in context

0x12345678 → 12 34 56 78 or 78 56 34 12

Interpret with care

Important boundary

Endianness does not reverse individual bits unless bit reversal is explicitly selected.

For a small base-two example, use the Binary Calculator.

Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Choose the direction, operation, representation, or parity convention when one is provided.
  2. Enter the labelled values and an explicit word size, base, polynomial, or encoding option where required.
  3. Read the primary result together with its alternate representations and stated convention.

Calculation method

Apply the declared binary rule

Changing endianness reverses byte positions while preserving each byte's internal bits.

The calculator validates every digit against its numeral base, keeps integer and bitwise work exact with arbitrary-precision integers, and limits fixed-width operations to the selected word.

Worked example

Worked binary example

12 34 56 78 becomes 78 56 34 12 in the opposite byte order.

Changing endianness reverses byte positions while preserving each byte's internal bits.

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Input interpretation

Binary-only fields accept 0 and 1. General integer fields accept decimal plus 0b, 0o, or 0x prefixes. Base conversion supports bases 2 through 36.

Word size and output

Most fixed-width tools support 1–256 bits. Results expose signedness, truncation, parity, or encoding conventions whenever those choices change the meaning.
