Computers store all data as binary — sequences of 0s and 1s. Each character in text corresponds to a binary number via encoding standards like ASCII (7-bit) or UTF-8 (variable-length). This converter bridges the gap between human-readable text and its binary representation.
How to Use
Choose a direction:
- Binary → Text: Paste binary (space-separated or continuous)
- Text → Binary: Type any text to see its binary form
ASCII Encoding
ASCII uses 7 bits (0-127) for English characters. 'A' = 65 = 01000001, 'a' = 97 = 01100001, '0' = 48 = 00110000. Extended ASCII uses 8 bits (0-255).
UTF-8 Encoding
UTF-8 extends ASCII to support all Unicode characters using 1-4 bytes. ASCII characters use 1 byte (same as ASCII). Characters like é use 2 bytes, 中 uses 3 bytes, and emoji use 4 bytes.
