Frequently Asked Questions

How does text to binary conversion work?
Each character is converted to its ASCII code number, which is then represented as an 8-bit binary string of 0s and 1s. For example, the letter "A" (ASCII 65) becomes "01000001".
Why are binary values separated by spaces?
Spaces separate each 8-bit byte so you can distinguish individual characters. Without spaces, the binary string would be ambiguous and impossible to decode back to text.
Can I convert binary back to readable text?
Yes, switch to the "Binary to Text" mode and paste space-separated 8-bit binary values to decode them back into the original text characters.
