I’d suggest the inverse from encoding, to keep things mirrored/simple:
iex(1)> <<int::unsigned-big-integer-32>> = <<0, 0, 0, 255>>
<<0, 0, 0, 255>>
iex(2)> int
255

Actually yeah, I was just about to post an edit, thank you. 
Guess I really wanted it to be a one-liner but that’s not an important consideration.
