IPv6 to IPv4 Converter

The IPv6 to IPv4 Converter is a tool designed to help users convert IPv6 addresses into their IPv4 equivalents. With the growing prevalence of IPv6, there are still many systems and applications that rely on IPv4. This tool simplifies the process by automatically converting IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses back into their original IPv4 form.

What is IPv4?

IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP) and one of the core protocols used in network communication. IPv4 uses a 32-bit address format, which allows for around 4.3 billion unique IP addresses. An IPv4 address is usually represented as four decimal numbers separated by dots, such as 192.168.1.1. Due to the rapid growth of the internet, IPv4 addresses have become scarce, leading to the development of IPv6.

What is IPv6?

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the latest version of the Internet Protocol designed to replace IPv4. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address format, which allows for an almost limitless number of unique IP addresses. An IPv6 address is represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, separated by colons, such as 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. This extended address space was created to meet the growing demand for new IP addresses in the modern internet era.

How Does the IPv6 to IPv4 Converter Work?

Our IPv6 to IPv4 Converter accepts an IPv6 address that represents an IPv4 address, usually in the format ::ffff:192.168.0.1. The tool will analyze the IPv6 address and extract the embedded IPv4 address for you.

Example

• Input IPv6 Address: ::ffff:c35:1704
• Output IPv4 Address: 195.53.23.4

Disclaimer

While this tool is designed to handle most common IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses, it may not work for every possible IPv6 address format. Please ensure the address you are converting is in the correct IPv6-mapped IPv4 format. The tool is provided as-is without any guarantees. Always verify the results before using them in a production environment.
