Convert text to binary
Type or paste any text and this tool turns each character into its eight-bit binary value, the string of ones and zeros a computer actually stores. The bytes appear space-separated so they stay readable and can be decoded again later. It is a quick way to see how a message looks at the level the machine works with, useful for learning, puzzles and coding exercises. The conversion happens live and never leaves your browser.
How the encoding works
Every character has a numeric code, and that code is written in base two and padded to eight digits, giving one byte per character.
Frequently asked questions
What does the binary represent?
Each group of eight digits is one character code written in base two, so the letter A (code 65) becomes 01000001.
Why are the bytes spaced out?
Spacing each byte apart keeps the output readable and lets the binary-to-text tool decode it cleanly.
