Convert binary numbers to text and text to binary numbers.
The binary converter translates text into binary code, each byte written as 8 bits separated by spaces, and translates binary code back into text. Text is encoded as UTF-8, so every character is supported. The conversion runs in your browser.
It's a fun way to learn how computers store text, to solve puzzles and CTF challenges, or to create hidden messages.
Text to binary and binary to text.
Each byte is padded to 8 bits.
Accents, symbols and emoji use several bytes.
Invalid binary groups are reported.
Each character is encoded as one or more bytes (UTF-8), and each byte is written as 8 zeros and ones.
Characters outside of ASCII, such as é or emoji, need 2 to 4 bytes in UTF-8.
Separate every group of 8 bits with a space or a line break.
A bit is a single 0 or 1, and a byte is a group of 8 bits.
