Text to Binary Converter
A free converter that turns text into binary and binary back into text. Each character is encoded as UTF-8 bytes and shown as 8-bit groups, so accented letters and emoji survive the round trip.
How to Use the Converter
Type or paste into the first box. Leave Text to Binary selected to encode, or switch to Binary to Text to decode. The result appears below, ready to copy.
What the Output Means
Hi becomes 01001000 01101001. Each group of eight digits is one byte, and each byte is one character in plain ASCII. The spaces are there for readability and are ignored when decoding.
Accents and Emoji
Anything outside plain ASCII takes more than one byte in UTF-8, so a single accented letter or emoji becomes several groups of eight. Decoding reassembles them, which is why café survives a round trip intact.
If Decoding Returns Nothing
The decoder expects whole bytes. If a group is longer than eight digits, or the digits are not binary, it returns an empty result rather than guessing and producing garbled characters. Check that your input is groups of eight ones and zeros.
