Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert text to binary?

Type or paste your text into the input field and the tool will instantly display the binary representation of each character. You can also paste a binary string to decode it back to readable text.

Is my data kept private?

Yes, all conversion happens in your browser. No text or binary data is sent to any server. Your content remains entirely on your device throughout the process.

How does binary text encoding work?

Each character in your text is converted to its ASCII code, which is then represented as an 8-bit binary number. For example, the letter A has ASCII code 65, which is 01000001 in binary. The tool performs this conversion for every character in your input.
