Text ↔ Binary Converter

Convert between plain text and binary in both directions — encode text into its base-2 representation or decode binary strings back to readable text, byte by byte. Files are converted locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

What encoding is used?

Text is converted to binary using UTF-8 encoding. Each character is represented as its 8-bit binary equivalent (e.g., 'A' = 01000001).

How do I separate binary values?

Use spaces between 8-bit groups (e.g., 01001000 01100101). Commas are also accepted as separators.

Does this handle special characters?

Yes. UTF-8 encoding supports all Unicode characters including accented letters, emoji, and non-Latin scripts.

How do I decode binary back to text?

Paste the binary string to decode it back to readable text — both directions work in the same tool.
