About Binary Code Translation
Binary code is the fundamental language of computers. Every piece of text, image, or instruction that computers process is ultimately represented as a series of 0s and 1s. Our binary code translator makes it easy to convert between human-readable text and machine-readable binary.
How Text to Binary Conversion Works:
Each character in your text is converted to its ASCII or Unicode value (a number), which is then expressed as an 8-bit binary number. For example, the letter "A" has an ASCII value of 65, which is represented as 01000001 in binary.
How Binary to Text Conversion Works:
The binary input is parsed in groups of 8 bits (1 byte). Each byte is converted to its decimal value, which is then mapped to the corresponding ASCII character. This allows you to decode any binary message back to human-readable text.
Common Use Cases:
- Learning how computers represent data
- Understanding character encoding (ASCII, Unicode)
- Debugging and development work
- Educational purposes and computer science learning
