Text To Binary

Convert any text or string into its equivalent binary representation (0s and 1s).

Home Text To Binary
The Text to Binary converter translates ASCII characters into their 8-bit binary codes. This tool is great for educational purposes, low-level data viewing, and understanding character encoding basics. Convert text to binary now!

Convert text to UTF-8 binary representation

• Uses standard UTF-8 encoding for all characters (ASCII, emoji, Chinese, Arabic, etc.)

• Each byte is represented as exactly 8 binary digits (0s and 1s)

• Perfect for understanding character encoding and computer science basics

• Multiple output formats: spaced, continuous, or grouped

Quick Presets:
Enter text that will be converted to binary (1s and 0s) representation
characters • Large input may produce long binary output

Additional Display Options

This shows your text converted to binary format (1s and 0s), with each character represented as an 8-bit binary number

UTF-8 Byte Breakdown

Each row represents one byte. Multi-byte characters (emoji, Chinese, etc.) span multiple rows.

Usage Tips & Best Practices

Best Uses

  • • Learning binary and character encoding
  • • Understanding computer data representation
  • • Educational computer science projects
  • • Low-level data inspection and analysis

Good to Know

  • • Each character = 8 bits (1 byte)
  • • ASCII characters: 0-127 (7 bits + padding)
  • • Extended ASCII: 128-255 (full 8 bits)
  • • Use Character Breakdown for details
UTF-8 Encoding: This tool properly handles all Unicode characters including emojis, Chinese, Arabic, and special symbols using standard UTF-8 byte encoding.
How it works: Each character is converted to UTF-8 bytes (1-4 bytes depending on the character), then each byte is represented as 8 binary digits.
  1. 1 Enter Text: Type or paste the plain text string you wish to convert (e.g., `ABC`).
  2. 2 Convert: Click "Encode to Binary".
  3. 3 View Binary Code: The output displays the text as a sequence of binary digits (0s and 1s), often separated by spaces for each 8-bit byte.
