Translate between text and binary code
Binary code is the language computers use at their lowest level. Every character is represented as an 8-bit binary number based on the ASCII standard. For example: "H" = 72 = 01001000, "e" = 101 = 01100101.
This converter works in both directions:
- Text → Binary: Converts each character to its 8-bit ASCII binary representation, separated by spaces
- Binary → Text: Reads groups of 8 bits and converts them back to the corresponding ASCII character
Common uses: computer science education, encoding puzzles and secret messages, debugging low-level data, and fun programming exercises. All conversion happens in your browser — private, instant, no character limits.
