How to Use This Tool

This tool makes translating binary to English incredibly simple. Here's how to make the most of it.

Step 1: Paste Your Binary or Text

Paste your content into the large input field. You can input:

  • Binary code separated by spaces (e.g., 01001000 01101001)
  • A single long string of binary digits (e.g., 0100100001101001)
  • Plain text for converting in the opposite direction

Step 2: Choose Conversion Direction

Select from the "Direction" dropdown:

  • Binary to Text (default): Translates 1s and 0s into characters
  • Text to Binary: Encodes standard text into binary form

Step 3: Select Encoding Type

Choose the encoding scheme that fits your input:

  • ASCII (7-bit) – Standard encoding for English characters
  • ASCII (8-bit) – For full byte-based conversions

Future options may include Unicode for extended character sets.

Step 4: Select Output Format

You can choose:

  • Spaced binary (for readability): 01000001 01000010
  • Compact binary (no spacing): 0100000101000010

This helps with format-specific needs—like inserting into forms, decoding games, or displaying in presentations.

Step 5: Convert and Copy

Click the Convert button to get instant results. You can then copy the decoded text or binary code and use it as needed.

To clear and start over, use the Clear button.

Tips for Best Results

  • If converting from text to binary, test different encodings to see spacing differences.
