Binary Translator

Translate text into binary and back.

How to Do It Manually

Binary represents data using only 0s and 1s. Each character is stored as an 8-bit binary number (ASCII code).

  1. To convert text to binary: find each character's ASCII code (e.g. 'A' = 65).
  2. Convert the decimal ASCII code to 8-bit binary (65 = 01000001).
  3. Separate each 8-bit group with a space.
  4. To convert back: read each 8-bit group, convert to decimal, then look up the ASCII character.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert decimal to binary manually?

Divide the number by 2 repeatedly, writing down each remainder. Read the remainders from bottom to top. Example: 65 → 64 r1, 32 r0, 16 r0, 8 r0, 4 r0, 2 r0, 1 r1 → 1000001 → padded to 01000001.
