Questions
How is text turned into binary?
Each character is encoded as UTF-8, the encoding used on the web, and each byte is written as eight binary digits. “Hi” is 01001000 01101001. Letters A to Z take one byte, accented letters two, and emoji four.
What binary can be translated back?
Groups of up to eight 0s and 1s separated by spaces, commas or line breaks, or one long run whose length is a multiple of 8. If the bytes don’t form valid UTF-8 text, the tool says so instead of showing garbled characters.
Is this the same as ASCII binary?
For English letters, digits and punctuation, yes: UTF-8 and ASCII are identical there. The ASCII table lists every code.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
