Convert text to binary and binary back to text.
How to Use the Binary to Text Converter
This tool converts text to binary representation and binary back to readable text. It works entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
- Choose a mode — click "Text → Binary" to encode text, or "Binary → Text" to decode binary digits.
- Enter your input — type or paste text (in text mode) or binary digits (in binary mode) into the input area.
- Adjust options — toggle "Space-separated bytes" to add or remove spaces between each byte. Toggle "8-bit padding" to pad each character to a full 8 bits.
- Read the output — the converted result updates instantly as you type.
- Copy the result — click the Copy button to copy the output to your clipboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does text-to-binary conversion work?
Each character in the text is converted to its Unicode code point, then that number is expressed in base 2 (binary). For example, the letter "A" has code point 65, which is 01000001 in binary.
What does the 8-bit padding option do?
When enabled, each character is padded to exactly 8 binary digits (one byte). For example, "A" becomes "01000001" instead of "1000001". This is useful when you need uniform byte-width output.
What does space-separated bytes mean?
When enabled, a space is inserted between each character's binary representation, making it easier to read. For example, "Hi" becomes "01001000 01101001" instead of "0100100001101001".
Can I convert binary back to text?
Yes. Switch to "Binary → Text" mode, paste your binary digits, and the tool will decode them into readable text. Make sure the space-separated and 8-bit options match how the binary was originally encoded.
Is my data stored or sent anywhere?
No. All conversions happen locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text and binary data never leave your device.
