Chmod Calculator — Unix File Permissions

Calculate Unix/Linux file permissions in octal (e.g. 755), symbolic (rwxr-xr-x), and chmod command format. Toggle checkboxes for owner, group, and other permissions.

Common chmod values

chmod 755

Owner: read/write/execute. Group + Others: read/execute. Standard for web directories.

chmod 644

Owner: read/write. Group + Others: read-only. Standard for web files.

chmod 777

chmod 600

Owner: read/write only. Group + Others: no access. For private keys and secrets.
