Text to Binary

What Is the Text to Binary Converter

This text to binary conversion tool helps you instantly and effortlessly turn text into binary, which is a file format where all information is stored in sequences 1s and 0s, instead of letters or other numbers. The tool works very quickly and is user-friendly, requiring no specialized knowledge to use.

How to Use the Text to Binary Converter

1. Enter your text or upload your text file into the "Text" box on the left side of the screen.
2. Press "Convert Text to Binary" to start the conversion process.
3. Within a second, the tool converts your text into binary code and displays it on the right.
4. You can instantly download or copy the binary output by using the buttons above the "Binary" box.
5. Once you're ready for another conversion, simply click the Erase icon above the "Text" box to start fresh and repeat the steps as many times as needed.

Why You Should Use the Tool

You should use this tool because it dramatically speeds up the process of converting your text to binary for all of your digital tasks. For example, it's useful for many software developers and programmers.

Instead of having to remember the binary sequence for each letter they want to enter into their project, they can simply write it out in text and then copy the binary output from the results of the tool.

Converting information from text to binary is also much more efficient. Storing binary byte data doesn't take nearly as much space as text, and computers generally process binary data much quicker and easier, as well.

It's also great for sending an encoded message securely, as reading and understanding binary is much more challenging and time consuming than a text-based message.

How to Convert Text to Binary Manually

While this "to binary translator" lets you convert text to binary automatically, you can also do it manually in only a few steps, though it'll take a lot longer.

1. Begin by breaking down your word or phrase by letter/number.
2. Next, get the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) decimal code for each letter from an online ASCII table or value chart.
3. Once you have this decimal value, convert it to binary by dividing it by two continuously, and tracking the remainders until you get to 0.
4. Finally, read the list of remainders from the last one to the first one to get the binary for that letter/number.
