Best use cases

Common mistakes

The user expects lowercase or spaced output instead of compact uppercase Base16.

Fix: Check the output format expectations before copying the result.

The wrong reverse tool is used later.

Fix: Use Base16 Decode when you want to turn Base16 text back into readable output.

Whitespace in the input changes the output unexpectedly.

Fix: Trim or normalize the input first if exact byte output matters.
