# Convert to instruction

```
 Action    name: MakeCode
 
```

This command converts the current unexplored bytes to instruction(s). IDA will warn you if it is not possible.

If you have selected a range using the [anchor](https://docs.hex-rays.com/8.4/user-guide/disassembler/navigation/anchor), all the bytes from this range will be converted to instructions.

If you apply this command to an instruction, it will be reanalyzed.
