Binary to Text

Convert binary code (0s and 1s) back into a human-readable text string.

Our Binary to Text converter reverses the process, taking a stream of binary code and translating it back into ASCII characters. Use this tool for decoding binary data quickly and efficiently. Convert binary to text instantly!

Binary to Text Decoder Text to Binary Encoder

Paste binary code here (space-separated or continuous).

• Example: 01001000 01101001 → "Hi"

• Continuous binary (divisible by 8) will be auto-formatted

• 7-bit inputs will be auto-padded (e.g., 1000001 → 01000001)

• Non-binary characters (letters, punctuation) are automatically removed

• Supports UTF-8 multi-byte characters (emojis, accented letters)

How to Use

Step-by-step guide 3 steps

1 Enter Binary: Paste the stream of binary code (e.g., `01000001 01000010 01000011`). Ensure the digits are grouped in 8-bit segments.
2 Convert: Click "Decode to Text".
3 View Text: The tool translates the binary digits back into the original, human-readable text (e.g., `ABC`).

FAQ

Common questions 3 questions

What happens if the binary code is incorrectly spaced?

The tool must be able to recognize the byte boundary (typically 8 bits). Incorrect spacing or grouping will lead to decoding errors or gibberish output.

Does this work with encrypted binary?

No, this only converts binary representation back to ASCII characters. It cannot decrypt or reverse a cryptographic hash or encrypted data.

What is the standard encoding scheme used?

It primarily uses ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) to map 8-bit binary codes back to their corresponding characters.
