Text ⇄ Binary Converter
Convert plain text into binary code, or decode binary back into readable text.
About this tool
Converting text to binary (and back) is a common exercise for learning how computers represent characters, and occasionally useful for puzzles, teaching, or novelty projects. This tool converts either direction instantly.
How to use it
- Enter plain text to convert it to binary, or paste binary code to decode it back to text.
- Click the corresponding conversion button.
- Copy the result.
Tips
- Each character converts to an 8-bit binary sequence, separated by spaces for readability.
- When decoding, make sure each binary group is separated by whitespace, or decoding may fail.
- This uses standard character encoding, so it works reliably for common English text and punctuation.
FAQ
Does it support non-English characters?
Basic Latin characters convert reliably; some special characters outside the standard 8-bit range may not decode correctly.
