Binary Encoder/Decoder
Encode text to binary and decode binary to text online. Free bidirectional Binary Encoder/Decoder tool.
How to Use This Binary Encoder/Decoder
- Enter text to convert it to binary, or enter binary to decode it to text.
- Select the conversion direction: encode (text to binary) or decode (binary to text).
- The result appears instantly in the output field.
What is Binary Encoding?
Binary encoding converts text characters into their binary (base-2) representation, where each character is expressed as a sequence of 0s and 1s. This is the fundamental way computers store and process all data. Binary decoding reverses this process, converting binary sequences back into readable text.
Features
- Bidirectional conversion between text and binary
- Real-time encoding and decoding as you type
- Support for all ASCII and Unicode characters
- One-click copy of the result to clipboard
Frequently Asked Questions
Is binary encoding the same as encryption?
No. Binary encoding is simply a different representation of the same data. Anyone can decode binary back to text without a key. It is a data representation format, not a security mechanism.
Why is binary important in computing?
Binary is the native language of digital computers. All data, from text and images to video and software, is ultimately stored and processed as sequences of binary digits (bits). Understanding binary helps developers debug low-level data and communication protocols.
