Text to Binary Converter: A Handy Tool



How to Use:

  • Enter text in the input field to convert it to binary (8-bit ASCII)
  • Or paste binary code to convert it back to text
  • Each character is represented as 8 binary digits (bits)
  • Use the checkbox to toggle spaces between bytes

Say Hello to Simplicity

This text to binary converter turns characters into bits. Type in the box and see binary appear as you type. Paste binary and use Convert from Binary to get plain text. No fuss, just bits.

How the Converter Works

The tool reads each character and writes its code in base two. It pads codes to at least 8 bits for common characters. For standard American Standard Code for Information Interchange, each character maps to eight bits. For extended letters, a group can exceed eight bits. Turn on Space between bytes to add a space after each character. Turn it off to print one continuous stream. For binary to text, the tool keeps only zeros and ones. Binary length must divide by 8. The decoder reads each 8 bit group and returns a character. Auto convert runs as you type text. If the input looks like binary, the tool waits for your click.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Input Your Text

Use the Enter Text box for both modes. To convert text to binary, type your message. The output updates as you type. To convert from binary, paste zeros and ones. Spaces and line breaks are fine.

2. Convert Your Message

Click Convert to Binary to process the text in the input. Click Convert from Binary to decode bits back to text. Tick Space between bytes to show spaces between character groups. The Binary Result box shows the output. In text to binary mode, each group maps to one character. In binary to text mode, you see the decoded string. The Binary Result box is read only.

3. Copy and Clear

Click Copy Result to copy the output. A short success note appears in the output field. Click Clear All to reset both fields. Start fresh and run another test.

Why Use Our Text to Binary Converter?

This text to binary tool helps you learn and work faster. It shows how text maps to bits right away. You can switch modes and test ideas in seconds. It suits study, coding, and quick checks.

Here are common uses.

Tip for reading the output. Eight bits form one byte with a value from 0 to 255. That value maps to a character in American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Keep that in mind as you read each group.
