Binary Converter

The Binary Converter turns text into binary and converts between binary, decimal, and hexadecimal, updating live. It is for students learning number systems and developers inspecting low-level representations.

Converting between bases by hand is slow and error-prone. Doing it locally is instant across text and numeric bases, with the input kept private.

1. Choose the conversion you want, such as text to binary or binary to hex.
2. Type or paste your input.
3. The converted result appears live.
4. Copy the converted output.

• Text-to-binary conversion
• Binary, decimal, and hexadecimal conversions
• Live converted output
• Converted on your device

• Learning how characters map to binary
• Inspecting byte values while debugging
• Converting between number bases for an assignment
• Checking a binary literal against its decimal value

• Confirm the input base before converting; the same digits mean different values in different bases.
• Group binary into bytes of eight digits to read it more reliably.
• For non-ASCII text, remember the binary reflects the UTF-8 bytes, not a single code point per character.

• Mixing up which base the input is in, which produces a meaningless result; set the conversion direction first.
• Forgetting that text-to-binary depends on the character encoding for non-ASCII characters.
• Reading grouped binary without spaces, where a missing digit is easy to miss.
