Text to Binary Converter FAQ
What is binary code?
Binary code is a system of representing text, instructions, or data using only two symbols: 0 and 1. Each digit is called a "bit" and groups of 8 bits form a "byte".
How do computers use binary?
Computers use binary because digital circuits can easily represent two states: on (1) and off (0). All data, including text, images, and programs, is stored as binary.
What's the difference between ASCII and Unicode?
ASCII uses 7-8 bits to represent 128-256 characters (mainly English). Unicode can represent over 1 million characters from all languages and symbols.
Why are there spaces in binary output?
Spaces (or other delimiters) separate each character's binary representation, making it easier to read and understand the conversion.
Can I convert binary back to text?
Yes! Use our "Binary to Text" tab to convert binary code back to readable text. Our tool auto-detects the format and delimiter.
Is my data safe?
Absolutely! All conversions happen in your browser. No data is uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy.
