Buy me a coffeeWhat is XOR Calculator?
XOR Calculator computes the bitwise XOR (exclusive OR) — the result bit is 1 when the two corresponding input bits differ, and 0 when they are the same. XOR is widely used in cryptography, error detection (parity bits), checksum algorithms, hash functions, and toggling specific bits in registers.
How to Use XOR Calculator
1
Select input base.
2
Enter two numbers.
3
The XOR result appears in all bases.
Common Use Cases
- Toggling specific bits in a value using a bitmask.
- Computing parity or checksum values.
- Implementing simple encryption with XOR cipher.
- Swapping two integers without a temporary variable.
Example Input and Output
12 XOR 10 (decimal).
A=12, B=10
A: 12 (1100₂)
B: 10 (1010₂)XOR result
XOR: 6 (0110₂)Privacy

Frequently Asked Questions
What does bitwise XOR do?
XOR (exclusive OR) outputs 1 when the input bits differ and 0 when they match. It is often described as a "difference detector" for bits.
Can XOR be used for encryption?
Yes. XOR with a key is the basis of the Vernam cipher and one-time pad. However, simple repeating-key XOR encryption is weak and easily broken — use a proper cryptographic library for security-sensitive applications.
Is my data uploaded?
No. All calculation runs in your browser.
