Binary to Text

What Is the Binary to Text Converter?

This binary to text converter is a tool that quickly and accurately translates a sequence of 8-digit binary numbers into readable English text.

A binary number in standard ASCII/UTF-8 format consists of 8 bits (0s and 1s) to represent a single alphanumeric character. This tool is user-friendly and requires no technical expertise, allowing you to easily decode messages or interpret digital data in an encoded binary format.

How to Use the Binary to Text Translator

1. In the "Binary" input field, enter the sequence of binary numbers, each consisting of 8 binary digits (0s and 1s) from the binary numeral system. Alternatively, click the upload icon to upload a .txt file containing an encoded binary value. Ensure that each binary number is separated by a space.
2. If you need to clear the input, simply click the eraser icon to remove all the entered data.
3. Once you're ready, click the "Convert Binary to Text" button to translate the binary code into readable text. The resulting text will appear in the "Text" field.
4. After conversion, you can click the download icon to save the converted text or the copy icon to copy it to your clipboard.

Why Should You Use a Binary Code Translator?

The binary number system is the fundamental method for storing, processing, and transferring data in any digital device or system that handles data (which consists of 0s and 1s). The numbering system is in base-2 format, where a "0" represents an "off" state, and a "1" represents an "on" state.

A binary code translator allows you to interpret and understand binary-encoded data, making it accessible even to non-technical users.

While many binary code converter applications exist, most do not offer features like uploading a .txt file for input or downloading the output. That's why our tool stands out, providing seamless conversion of binary code to text without any hassle.

All in all, this binary decoder simplifies the process, allowing you to decode binary data and understand the binary system quickly and efficiently. You can easily use it to translate binary code without ever needing another tool.

How to Convert Binary to Text Manually

1. Break the binary code into 8-bit segments. Each 8-bit segment represents one character in the encoded text (e.g., 01000001, 01100010, etc.).
2. Convert each binary segment to decimal. Multiply the binary digits by powers of 2, starting from the right. The rightmost digit is multiplied by 1, the next by 2, then 4, 8, and so on, doubling for each position up to the leftmost digit. For example, 01001001 converts to 73, calculated as: (0*128) + (1*64) + (0*32) + (0*16) + (1*8) + (0*4) + (0*2) + (1*1) = 73.
3. Find the corresponding character. In the ASCII table, decimal 73 corresponds to the letter "I". Note that for uppercase letters, the binary sequence typically starts with "010", while lowercase letters start with "011".
4. Repeat the process for all segments. Use this method to convert each 8-bit binary segment to its decimal value, then find the corresponding character in the ASCII table.

Binary Code Examples

These examples illustrate how binary code can be translated into text using a binary converter:

• 01010011 01001111 01010011 ="SOS"
• 01001000 01000101 01001100 01001100 01001111 ="HELLO"
• 01001001 00100000 01001100 01001111 01010110 01000101 00100000 01011001 01001111 01010101 ="I LOVE YOU"
