Binary Translator

How do I convert text to binary?

Each character in text has a numeric value (ASCII/Unicode code point). A is 65 in decimal, which is 01000001 in binary. Our translator converts every character instantly — just type or paste your text and the binary code appears in real time.

What is binary code?

Binary code is a base-2 number system using only two digits: 0 and 1. Computers process all data as binary — text, images, and programs are all stored as sequences of 0s and 1s. Each group of 8 binary digits (bits) is called a byte and can represent a number from 0 to 255.

What is the binary code for the alphabet?

In 8-bit ASCII: A = 01000001, B = 01000010, C = 01000011, and so on. Uppercase letters range from 65 to 90 (binary 01000001 to 01011010). Lowercase letters range from 97 to 122 (binary 01100001 to 01111010). Our translator shows the complete conversion for any text.

What is the difference between 8-bit and 16-bit binary?

8-bit binary uses 8 digits per character (e.g., A = 01000001), covering ASCII characters 0-255. 16-bit binary uses 16 digits (e.g., A = 0000000001000001) and can represent Unicode characters up to 65,535, including accented letters and many special symbols.

How do I convert binary to text?

Switch to "Binary → Text" mode and paste your binary code. The translator splits the input into groups of binary digits, converts each group to its decimal value, and maps it to the corresponding character. Separators (spaces, commas) between groups are handled automatically.

What is hexadecimal and how does it relate to binary?

Hexadecimal (hex) is a base-16 number system using digits 0-9 and letters A-F. Each hex digit represents exactly 4 binary digits, making hex a compact way to express binary values. For example: binary 01001000 = hex 48 = decimal 72 = letter H.

Is the binary translator free?

Yes, completely free with no limits. All conversions happen locally in your browser — no data is sent to any server. Convert as much text as you want with full privacy.
