Binary to Text Converter

Convert binary code to readable text — or encode text into binary. Supports space-separated and continuous binary strings.

Frequently asked questions

What is binary code?

Binary is a base-2 number system using only 0 and 1. Computers store all data — text, images, audio — as sequences of binary digits (bits). Each letter or symbol maps to a numeric code (ASCII or Unicode), which is then written in binary.

How does binary-to-text conversion work?

Each group of 8 bits (one byte) represents a number from 0 to 255. That number maps to a character via ASCII. For example, 01001000 = 72 decimal = the letter H.

Do I need spaces between binary groups?

No. You can paste a continuous binary string (multiple of 8 bits) and the converter will split it into bytes automatically. Spaces are also accepted as delimiters.

Does this support Unicode?

Yes. For characters with code points above 255 (e.g. emoji, accented letters), the tool uses 16-bit or 24-bit groups. When decoding, any token is parsed as a binary integer and mapped to its Unicode code point.
