How the Binary Translator Works

This tool converts text to its binary representation and back. Binary code is the fundamental language of computers, representing all data as a series of 1s and 0s. Each character you type has a corresponding ASCII (or Unicode) value, which can be represented as an 8-digit binary number.

  1. Text to Binary: Type your message in the "Text" box. The tool converts each character into its 8-bit binary equivalent, separated by spaces.
  2. Binary to Text: Paste binary code (with each 8-bit byte separated by a space) into the "Binary" box. The tool translates it back into readable text.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is binary code?

A: Binary is a base-2 number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. Computers use it to store and process data, as the 0s and 1s can be represented by electronic states (off or on).

Q: Why is each character represented by 8 bits?

A: An 8-bit sequence is called a "byte". Standard ASCII, a common character encoding, uses 8 bits to represent 256 different characters, including all uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and common symbols.
