Frequently Asked Questions
What is binary?
Binary is a base-2 number system using only 0 and 1. Every character in text is stored as a sequence of 8 bits (a byte) in computers.
Does it support Unicode?
The tool converts each character to its UTF-8 byte representation in binary. ASCII characters will show as 8 bits; multi-byte characters may be longer.
Can I convert binary back to text?
Yes! Switch to Binary to Text mode and paste binary (space-separated bytes) to decode it.
