Text to Binary Translator
Convert any text into binary code instantly. Each character is encoded as its 8-bit value using standard UTF-8 / ASCII code points, so the output matches what computers actually use.

How text is converted to binary
Computers store every character as a number called a code point. The letter “A”, for example, is 65 in ASCII/UTF-8. To get binary, that number is written in base-2 (only 0s and 1s) and padded to 8 bits — so “A” becomes 01000001. Each character in your text is encoded the same way and the 8-bit groups are joined with spaces.
Reading binary back to text
To decode, split the binary into 8-bit groups, convert each group from base-2 to a decimal number, then look up the matching character. For example 01001000 01101001 = 72 105 = “Hi”. Use our Binary to Text tool to do this instantly.

Frequently asked questions
How is text converted to binary?+
Each character has a numeric code point (for example, “A” = 65). We convert that number to base-2 and pad it to 8 bits, giving 01000001 for “A”.
Does this support emoji and other languages?+
Yes. Characters above the basic range use their full code point, so the binary may be longer than 8 bits for some symbols.
