About Binary Encoding
Binary is the base-2 number system using only 0s and 1s. In computers, text is stored as binary where each character is represented by 8 bits (1 byte). For example, the letter 'A' is stored as 01000001. This tool converts those binary representations back into human-readable text.
Binary Format Support
Our tool automatically handles different binary formats:
- Space-separated: 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111
- Continuous: 0100100001100101011011000110110001101111
- Mixed formatting: The tool removes all whitespace automatically
