What is the Binary Code Translator?

Computers store every letter as a row of 0s and 1s. This tool shows you that code. Type a word and see its binary, or paste binary and read the message.

Each letter takes 8 bits (one byte). Letters from other languages, like Hindi, take more bytes, and the tool shows them all correctly.

How to use it

  1. Pick Encode (text to binary) or Decode.
  2. Type or paste in the left box.
  3. Copy the result from the right box.
