Binary Text Converter

Convert text to binary representation and binary back to text. Supports 8-bit, 16-bit, and no-padding formats with configurable separators. Shows bit statistics. Runs entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your machine.

All interactive tools run entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

How It Works

Enter text to see its binary representation, or paste binary data to decode it back to text. Each character is converted to its Unicode code point in binary form.

Features

  • Bidirectional: text to binary or binary to text
  • 3 formats: 8-bit (standard), 16-bit (Unicode), or no-padding (minimal)
  • Configurable separator: space, newline, or no separator between bytes
  • Binary statistics: total bits, total bytes, count of 1s and 0s
  • Flexible input: accepts space, comma, or whitespace-separated binary chunks
  • Unicode support: handles any Unicode character via code points
  • Roundtrip safe: encode then decode returns the original text
  • 5 examples: common text and binary patterns
  • Private: runs entirely in the browser — no data transmitted

Use Cases

  • Understanding how text is represented in binary
  • Converting messages to binary for encoding exercises
  • Analyzing binary data patterns and bit distributions
  • Educational demonstrations of character encoding
  • CTF challenges involving binary-encoded text
