Converting Arbitrary IP Ranges to Standard CIDR Routing Blocks

Network routers, firewalls (iptables, UFW, pfSense), and cloud security policies (AWS VPC, GCP Cloud Armor, Cloudflare WAF) require CIDR subnet notation.

Enter your start and end IP addresses to compute the minimal collection of non-overlapping CIDR blocks with exact host counts and netmasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the IP range to CIDR calculator work?

It calculates the binary boundaries of the start and end IP addresses and merges contiguous ranges into the largest possible valid power-of-two CIDR subnets without overlapping or including extra IPs.

Can I use this for AWS Security Groups and Cloudflare IP Access Rules?

Yes. Cloud firewalls require CIDR notation (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) rather than arbitrary IP ranges. This tool converts ranges directly into valid cloud firewall rules.
