IPv4 to Integer
Convert a valid IPv4 address to its 32-bit unsigned integer value.
How to use
- Enter an IPv4 address and run the conversion.
Capabilities and scope
A dedicated runner validates all four octets and treats the first octet as the most significant byte in network order.
How it works
a.b.c.d becomes the unsigned value of (a<<24)+(b<<16)+(c<<8)+d.
Example
192.168.1.1 becomes 3232235777.
Useful for
- Compare IPv4 addresses with integer values stored in databases or APIs
Before you use it
- IPv6 is unsupported and systems using a different byte-order convention need separate interpretation.
Frequently asked questions
Can the result be negative?
No. The output is normalized to an unsigned 32-bit value from 0 to 4294967295.
