Octal converter

Enter an octal number (base 8, digits 0–7) to see its decimal, binary, and hexadecimal equivalents. Useful for Unix file permissions and legacy systems.

How it works

Conversion uses JavaScript's built-in parseInt(value, fromBase).toString(toBase). All four bases are computed simultaneously from the same input value, so you can see binary, octal, decimal, and hex at a glance.

Processing runs in your browser

All conversion runs in your browser tab. Our servers are not involved at any point.

For converting between data sizes like KB and MB, try the byte converter. To compute MD5 or SHA hashes from values, use the hash generator. For working with file permission bits, see the chmod calculator.

Frequently asked questions

What is octal used for?
Octal is commonly used for Unix/Linux file permissions (e.g. chmod 755), legacy systems, and some network protocols. Each octal digit represents exactly 3 binary bits.
Does it accept the 0o prefix?
Yes. Both '755' and '0o755' are accepted as octal inputs.
