Saved me hours. The live conversion and character counter are exactly what I needed for debugging API payloads.

Super clean interface. The stats panel showing input vs output size ratio is incredibly useful for understanding encoding overhead.

❓ FAQ
What is binary text encoding?+
In binary text encoding, each character is represented by its ASCII value in 8-bit (1-byte) binary. For example, "H" has ASCII value 72, which is 01001000 in binary. Binary to text conversion decodes these groups back to characters.
Do binary groups need to be exactly 8 bits?+
Technically ASCII uses 7 bits (0–127), but 8-bit groups are the standard format for binary text. This tool accepts groups of any length but the Auto-fix button pads all groups to 8 bits with leading zeros.
What if my binary has no spaces?+
Use the Auto-fix button — it splits the continuous binary string into 8-bit chunks and adds spaces. Alternatively, ensure your input has groups separated by spaces.
What is the largest character value in binary?+
ASCII goes to 127 (1111111 in 7 bits, 01111111 in 8 bits). Extended ASCII goes to 255 (11111111). This tool supports the full 8-bit range (0–255).
How is binary different from hex encoding?+
Binary uses base 2 (0 and 1), requiring 8 digits per byte. Hex uses base 16 (0–9, A–F), requiring only 2 digits per byte. Both represent the same byte values — 01001000 binary = 48 hex = "H" ASCII.
