Enter any IPv4 or IPv6 address to see its full breakdown including binary representation, decimal equivalent, address class, and special range detection.
Features
Binary Representation — See each octet as 8-bit binary, useful for understanding subnetting and CIDR notation.
Decimal Conversion — View the 32-bit integer value of the IP address.
Address Classification — Automatically identifies Class A, B, C, D (multicast), and E (reserved) for IPv4.
Special Range Detection — Flags private (RFC 1918), loopback, link-local, and reserved addresses.
IPv6 Support — Handles full and abbreviated IPv6 notation.
Common Use Cases
Network Debugging — Quickly check whether an IP is private, public, or reserved.
Subnetting Practice — Visualize binary representations for CIDR calculations.
Security Audits — Identify whether connections come from internal or external addresses.
Learning — Students studying networking can visualize IP structure.
Why Use This Tool
Understanding IP addressing is fundamental to networking. This tool makes it easy to decode any IP address instantly without manual binary conversion or memorizing RFC ranges.
