- Enter your text or binary in the input editor
- Click the Convert button to process your input
- Copy the results from the output editor
ASCII Encoding
Each character in ASCII is represented by a 7-bit number (0-127). In this converter, we use 8 bits (1 byte) per character, which is standard in computing.
Example:
Character: A
ASCII value: 65
Binary: 01000001
Binary Format Options
With spaces: Each 8-bit character is separated by a space for better readability.
Without spaces: Binary bits are joined without spaces, producing a more compact representation.
Binary Number System
Binary is a base-2 number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. Each digit position represents a power of 2, starting from 2⁰ (1) at the rightmost position.
Binary to Decimal:
Binary: 01000001
= 0×2⁷ + 1×2⁶ + 0×2⁵ + 0×2⁴ + 0×2³ + 0×2² + 0×2¹ + 1×2⁰
= 0 + 64 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1
= 65 (ASCII for 'A')
Tip: When converting binary to text, ensure each character is represented by 8 bits. Missing or extra bits will result in incorrect conversion.
Common Use Cases:
Digital Communication
All digital data is ultimately stored and transmitted as binary
Education
Learning how computers represent and process text information
Programming
Understanding binary representations for low-level programming
Binary conversion is essential in computing but makes data much larger than its original form - each character requires 8 bits. Binary is not encryption and provides no security, it's simply a different way to represent the same information.
