Convert text to binary code (0s and 1s) and decode binary back to readable text with our free online binary converter. Essential for learning about computer science, creating encoded messages, or understanding how computers represent data. Each character converts to its 8-bit binary equivalent. Perfect for students, educators, and anyone curious about binary. All conversion happens locally in your browser.
Each character is converted to its ASCII value, then to 8-bit binary. For example, 'A' = 65 = 01000001.
Enter 8-bit groups separated by spaces (e.g., 01001000 01101001 for 'Hi').
Basic ASCII characters are fully supported. Extended Unicode characters may require more than 8 bits per character.
