What bases does this tool support?

Any base from 2 to 36. Digits 0–9 represent values 0–9; letters A–Z (case-insensitive) represent values 10–35.

What if I enter a digit invalid for the source base?

The tool shows an inline error. For example, entering "2" in base 2 (binary) is invalid — only 0 and 1 are allowed.

Does this handle very large numbers?

Yes, within JavaScript's safe integer range (~15–16 significant decimal digits). For very large integers (cryptographic sizes), a dedicated big-integer library is needed.

How are bases above 10 represented?

Digits 10–35 are written as A–Z. For example, base 16 uses 0–9 and A–F; base 36 uses 0–9 and A–Z. Input is case-insensitive.

Can I convert fractional numbers?

This tool converts integers only. Fractional base conversion involves repeating sequences and is a separate, more complex operation.
