Binary Translator
Free binary translator. Type text to get space-separated 8-bit binary, or paste binary to decode it back to readable text — both directions, instantly.
This binary translator converts in both directions. Type ordinary text into the left box and the right box fills with the binary representation — each character becomes its 8-bit binary code, separated by spaces. Paste binary into the right box and the left box decodes it straight back into readable text.
Every character is encoded from its Unicode/ASCII code point, so letters, digits, punctuation, and spaces all round-trip cleanly. Decoding is forgiving: it splits on whitespace, ignores groups that aren't valid binary, and skips anything it can't read instead of breaking. All of it runs locally in your browser, with copy buttons for whichever side you need.
Frequently asked questions
How is text converted to binary?
Each character's code point is written as an 8-bit binary number (padded with leading zeros) and the bytes are separated by spaces.
What format should I paste binary in?
Space-separated groups of bits, like 01001000 01101001. Groups don't have to be exactly 8 bits — the tool pads and decodes what it can.
What happens with invalid binary?
Groups containing characters other than 0 and 1 are skipped, so a stray typo won't break the rest of the decode.
Does it work with letters beyond plain ASCII?
Yes. Characters are encoded by their Unicode code point, so accented letters and symbols convert too, though they may use more than 8 bits.
